DE PERE, WI (WTAQ) – It was a bittersweet bathroom makeover for one De Pere woman Tuesday.
Tundraland Home Improvements and former Packers player Leroy Butler took Bonnie Zak by surprise.
They showed up at her front door to remodel her bathroom, all in one day.
This was supposed to be a gift for her and her veteran husband Bob.
“I was just in shock because just to see him there, like oh my God, Bob should be here and not me. He should be here to see him,” says Zak.
Sadly, Bob, who was a huge Packers player, passed away on Friday after battling cancer since 2002.
“The Green Bay Packers and Tundraland try to embrace the community and we found out with Bonnie and her history with her relationship with Bob, I had to be a part of it,” says Butler.
Bob and Bonnie had been married for 46 years.
Steve Buelow works for Tundraland and says this makeover is part of their care project.
“Once a month we look to bless someone who can’t do it for themselves. That’s often times a disabled veteran or someone in the community.”
Bonnie considers the bathroom rejuvenation Bob’s last gift to her.
A veteran’s family from Madison was also surprised with the remodeling help.
