I saved my then 4 year old daughters life years ago using the Heimlich. She had a marble stuck in her airway. I had picked her up in the football hold and smacked her on the back. That didn’t work so I sat her on my knee and with one quick thrust, dislodged the obstruction. She graduates from college in May and gets married in August.

I learned the Heimlich from my Air Force days. It all came right back to me.

An in-law’s father choked on a piece of steak in a restaurant and died. This was just before the maneuver was invented.

Thank heaven you were there to save your girlfriend’s mother.

That fairly simple technique has saved countless lives.

God rest you well, good doctor.

Had he developed his maneuver a few years sooner Mama Cass might have given us a lot more wonderful music.

If Mama Cass had given that ham sandwich to Karen Carpenter both would still be alive today.

96 years is what I would call a very long life. May Doctor Heimlich RIP.
