After too many years of declining lung function, Ted Gerbig received his gift of life in July 2003; a single lung donated by a Green Bay man, David Duranceau. David was an organ recipient, having received a kidney and pancreas on April 21, 2003, and an organ donor, when he died of an intra-cranial hemorrhage on July, 10, 2003. On July 11, 2003 Ted received David’s gift of life and is now living a happy, healthy and productive life.
