‘God was looking out for me’
“It’s a miracle,” says Jack Hofstra, 92, after he got a new heart valve through a minimally invasive procedure.

At 92, Jack Hofstra has overcome challenges.

A soldier in World War II, he fought in the Battle of the Bulge, dodged bullets fired from enemy aircraft and survived a close encounter with a hand grenade.

“It never went off,” he said. “Otherwise I wouldn’t be here today.

“I think God was looking out for me.”

In the past few years, Hofstra has fought a new battle―this one much, much closer to home.
