A mere five months after Debbie and John were married, a massive stroke left John paralyzed on his right side and with limited speech. Awarded the presidential service award in 2000 for his volunteer work, John now loves to sit in their backyard in Seaside Heights, NJ, but is usually alone. Joined by contractor Matt Wendorff of RPI Design Build, George construct a new front porch and outdoor oasis, so John can spend more time with his friends and family.
