Moss started volunteering after he was in a car accident and
was forced to retire.
"He was in a car accident and ended up having
to retire. So he decided to volunteer in the department that
helped him heal, the rehab department," said Susan Washabaugh,
Director of Volunteer Services.
Don's wife works at the hospital and is
able to give him a ride to work every day. "If she works overtime,
he works overtime. If she works on the weekend, he works on
the weekend," Said Washabaugh.
The previous Guinness world record
for the Most
Volunteer Hours was 40,000 hours.
