WINDSOR JUNCTION:<\/strong> A group of residents came together Tuesday morning to pay it forward to a long-time Windsor Junction volunteer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The group, led by Haley Ellerbeck, were at Bussy\u2019s home in Windsor Junction cutting up and piling wood for the coming winter season after hearing of him only having a few chords. So, they went to work, and between a donation of half a chord from Barrett Firewood in Beaver Bank and the group piling their money together were able to get him some more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Tuesday, they were all gathered at Bussy\u2019s home seen piling the wood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While they really didn\u2019t do it for recognition but more about giving back to someone who has cared and given his time in the community, Michele Stephen, Bussy\u2019s sister-in-law, felt it was worthy to be noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s amazing what they are doing for him,\u201d she said. \u201cThey need to be recognized for this. He\u2019s so grateful for them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For their part, Ellerbeck said she knows how much Bussy gives back so it\u2019s only right that he gets looked after, and this was a perfect time for her and four others who she works with at AHTPOS. Two of them are from the Fall River area and have had first-hand experience seeing Bussy at the WJCC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe thought we would help out and get him some wood for the rest of the winter,\u2019 said Ellerbeck. \u201cHopefully, it will last the full winter.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She said one can tell how happy Bussy is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe feel amazing to help out,\u201d said Ellerbeck. \u201cHe can\u2019t believe we\u2019re coming here just to help him out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Children went by and they each said hi to Bussy earlier in the day. That shows what he means to the community, said Ellerbeck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt shows what the kids think of him,\u201d she said. \u201cEveryone is so nice to him because he\u2019s so nice to everyone. He would give the shirt of his back to people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is just paying it forward for him giving back to the community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
