Officials say his wife, Patricia Gorecki, was with him and told authorities she would get him of of the woods to the roadway so medics could take him to the hospital.

First responder’s met the Gorecki’s on Mapleview Road in Farming Township and provided medical attention until they arrived at the St. Cloud Hospital.
