John P. Careccia, Trainer

John P. Careccia – a Chief and Training Director at Woodbridge Township Ambulance & Rescue Squad, Woodbridge, New Jersey – passed away on 17 April 2020 due to COVID-19, "I decided to pursue a career in Emergency Medical Care in 1993 after seeing what 2 emergency responders did to save my son," Careccia said in a 2015 interview with CPR Headquarters, where he also contributed as a columnist.

I developed a unique approach to teaching CPR more from a practical rather than technical application." Source: Firehouse Pl...

Nola Mae Moore, Physician

Nola Mae Moore – a Physician in Shoreline, Washington – passed away on 17 April 2020 after suffering from COVID-19. Nola was 88 years old. Nola had polio when she was 8. This resulted in a long hospital stay and, because her dominant left hand was paralyzed, Nola, never short on grit, taught herself to write with the right-with a very distinctive lefty slant. She remained semi-ambidextrous the rest of her life, which would later make her an excellent set of hands in surgery. Unfortunately, it would not be her last long childhood hospital stay. When she was 12, she and Duane developed a homemade pair of wings and eagerly climbed to the top of a nearby windmill. On a coin toss (that she won) she tried them out...and ended up in the hospital with a broken back for anot...
