Park workers shovel path so that an 82-year-old man can bring a daisy to his late wife every day

All right, everyone, break out those tissues.

Every day, 82-year-old Bud Caldwell delivers a daisy and a penny to a park bench in Fond du Lac, Wis., that he bought and dedicated to his late wife, Betty. His gifts are tributes to the couple’s favorite songs from their 56 years together, “Daisy a Day” and “Pennies From Heaven.”

But after snow blanketed the walkway leading up to the bench, Caldwell had to alter his daily routine — he still went to the park every day, but he stayed in his car. Two park workers, Jerrod Ebert and Kevin Schultz, noticed Caldwell’s shift in routine. They shoveled the walkway to Betty’s bench so that Caldwell could make his daily visit.

“We both commented that we just can’t have this,” Ebert said. “We've got to make sure he can get to his bench and talk to his wife.”

Betty passed away two years ago, and Caldwell has taken comfort in his daily visit to the park bench he bought and dedicated in her honor.

“Two young men did such a nice thing for an old man,” he told CBS 58 News. The two park workers have vowed to keep the path clear so that Caldwell can continue making his visits to Betty’s bench.
