Willard Scott, the longtime weatherman on the TODAY SHOW, and the creator of Ronald MacDonald, passed away at age 87.
He first became noticed when he performed the Heimlech maneuver on Dr. Frank Field as the latter was choking on a piece of food in a restaurant, thus saving the latter's life. Soon after, Field took to the airwaves to publicly thank his co-star.
RIP, Willard Scott.
