BUFFALO, N.Y. -- A local man who became known as "Merry Christmas, Jay" after he rescued 24 people during the deadly snowstorm in Buffalo last month was surprised with Super Bowl tickets by a Bills legend on Friday.
Thurman Thomas and his wife, Patti, presented Jay Withey with two tickets to Super Bowl LVII on behalf of the Bills and Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield.
On Christmas Eve, Withey broke a window of a school while seeking shelter from the blizzard after spending a night sleeping in his truck with two strangers to stay alive.
