Yocum has been in and out of the hospital the past several months. "Now I know he can get out of the house safely on his own if he has to," said Jan, Jack's wife. The long metal ramp features a shallow incline, rails, and sandy paint to provide traction. Jack said his mobility was limited after the amputation of his left leg and right toes. The old wooden ramp was too steep and slick for him to operate on his own. "I would especially like to thank 'the crew' for their hard work, consideration, and craftsmanship," said Yocum.
