We would like to express our appreciation for the kind help of a gentleman who stepped out of the dark at about 10 p.m. on Saturday night to inquire if we needed help.

It was obvious, I guess, as I had just two blocks before on Via Linda Blvd. in Scottsdale experienced a severe blow-out of my right tire. We did not know what to do, but I tried to reach the next gasoline station. Then I saw a car stopping and just sensed that this must be in connection with my “hurt” car.

Sure enough, this gentleman guided us to the next gasoline station and then even offered to take us home. To my remark, “Oh, I don’t think that this is possible, as we live in Fountain Hills,” he answered, “No problem! I will take you and your husband home.”

We would like to express our appreciation for the kind help of a gentleman who stepped out of the dark at about 10 p.m. on Saturday night to inquire if we needed help.

It was obvious, I guess, as I had just two blocks before on Via Linda Blvd. in Scottsdale experienced a severe blow-out of my right tire. We did not know what to do, but I tried to reach the next gasoline station. Then I saw a car stopping and just sensed that this must be in connection with my “hurt” car.

Sure enough, this gentleman guided us to the next gasoline station and then even offered to take us home. To my remark, “Oh, I don’t think that this is possible, as we live in Fountain Hills,” he answered, “No problem! I will take you and your husband home.”

My husband whispered into my ear, “What if this is a dangerous person?” But by this time I had already learned in my conversation with this gentleman that he was Kyle Jacobs, a realtor representing the Realty ONE Group in Scottsdale.

Thus, after telling my husband who Kyle was, we accepted his kind offer and he brought us home safely after leaving the car at that gasoline station to be towed to Fountain Hills the next morning.

We were and still are just overwhelmed by the kindness of this stranger and his help and wanted to express via our Fountain Hills Times our appreciation of Kyle Jacobs! His help was especially needed, as I am handicapped and we both are advanced seniors.
