By Alyssa Taglia and Ellie Stamp

WALLINGFORD, Conn (WTNH) – A 93-year-old Cheshire man has spent the last decade helping others recover at the Gaylord Medical Facility in Wallingford.

Over the last ten years, 93-year-old Phillip King has been following his passion for helping others by volunteering at the Gaylord Rehabilitation Facility. The nonagenarian said his service began when he responded to an ad in the Sunday paper, and from there the rest is history.

“My favorite part about being a volunteer at Gaylord is satisfying the need for me to help others. Whoever it is who is part of Gaylord I want to help them and help the patients,” shared Philip King.
