The Bills presented local resident Jay Withey with a special gift this week in recognition of his heroic efforts during a deadly blizzard that blanketed the city of Buffalo just before Christmas.
Withey, who saved 24 people from the dangerous snowstorm on Christmas Eve, was surprised at his job by Bills legend Thurman Thomas and his wife, Patti, with two tickets to attend Super Bowl LVII in Glendale, Arizona on Feb. 12. The gift was sent to Withey on behalf of the Bills and Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield.
Now known around Buffalo as “Merry Christmas, Jay,” Withey displayed amazing selflessness when he went out of his way to save two dozen strangers on that fateful night in late December.
