It was just another day of work for Luis Lopez, Laguna Woods Village landscape lead, on Thursday, March 23.

After finishing his work within Gate 11, Lopez was driving out of the Village when he noticed something strange – the gate ambassador was unresponsive on the floor of the gatehouse.

“After detecting no pulse and no breathing, Mr. Lopez quickly called 911 and then gave life saving assistance to the gate ambassador,” Golden Rain Foundation President John Parker said during GRF’s April 4 board meeting.

After administering help to the gate ambassador, Lopez stayed with her after help arrived and assisted with the gate entry until security arrived, Parker said.
