LOWER BURRELL — Ken Hulst wanted to give one of his kidneys to his brother-in-law, former Lower Burrell Mayor Rich Callender, who needed a kidney for long-term survival, according to our news partners at Trib Live.
Hulst, a former Lower Burrell resident, died of complications from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis — ALS — on Aug. 28. Within 24 hours, Callender received one of Hulst’s kidneys.
“We’re just glad to help Rich,” said Hulst’s widow, Jennifer Hulst, 45, of Topsail, N.C. “Ken wasn’t able to save his own life, but he was able to save Rich’s life so he will be there for his family longer.”
