Clear Creek first responders saved the life of resident Thomas Ripley on Feb. 24 using cardiopulmonary resuscitation and an automated external defibrillator machine at the
Clear Creek Recreation Center. A month later, he came back to thank them. On March 25, Ripley met up with the first responders who were directly involved in saving his life a month ago. He was able to thank Paul MacFarland with EMS, Ron Thornton, a
deputy with CCSO, Ron Bailor, an officer with ISPD and Clark Church, a captain with EMS, all in person at the recreation center. The first responders used CPR and an AED machine that had been installed only a few months prior, according to ISPD chief Nathan Buseck. “I don’t know what I would do without Tom. I am so appreciative of the quick actions of everyone involved in saving Tom’s life,” said Kaye Ripley, Thomas Ripley’s wife.
