A man is being called a hero after he helped dozens of others survive inside a school during the worst of the deadly Buffalo snowstorm – by breaking in and serving them cafeteria food.
It was at the height of the deadliest blizzard in Buffalo’s history.
The mystery began with a handwritten note – an apology for breaking a window at a Cheektowaga School last Friday. The man explained he was with a bunch of elderly people who were stuck and out of fuel.
Police released a surveillance photo of the man – not because he was in any trouble – but to instead highlight his actions to go above and beyond.
He was quickly found and identified as Jay Withey Jr.
