## Caption

Around the Drew home in Bay Shore, the late Maggie Drew referred to her husband, Dave, as "George Bailey," the Jimmy Stewart character from "It’s a Wonderful Life." That's because, according to his son, also named Dave, his father is a good guy, has a lot of friends and always has someone looking out for him.

On Monday night, the elder Dave Drew got a reprieve reminiscent of the movie when he suffered a massive "widow-maker heart attack" while performing an original song on stage at Bartini, the bar he co-owns on North Carll Avenue in Babylon. 

After calling 911, patrons went outside and flagged down a passing Suffolk County police officer who used a patrol unit automated external defibrillator to resuscitate Drew.
