A grandson of an Ohio couple who died at a nursing home on the same day after 65 years of marriage credits their faith in God for the “shocking” timing.
Jeff Simon, 20, of Russia, Ohio, told FoxNews.com that his grandparents, Ruth, 89, and Harold “Doc” Knapke, 91, met in the third grade and continued a torrid love affair until Aug. 11, when the devoted pair died just days before their 66th wedding anniversary in the room they shared on a nursing home in Versailles in western Ohio.
“In the last couple of days before their deaths, we kind of saw it coming,” Simon said. “My grandfather has always kind of been in not very good health, but the fact that he went that morning was very shocking.”
Simon said his grandparents — who had a joint funeral Mass, with granddaughters carrying Ruth's casket and grandsons carrying Harold's — loved each other “very much” and enjoyed playing cards together for countless hours.http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/08/26/ohio-couple-married-65-years-die-in-nursing-home-11-hours-apart/#ixzz2dDpAKtCU
First, yes I have seen The Notebook and no, that doesn't make me gay. It's only the greatest love story ever told, NBD. Also, I went with a girl, so that makes me the opposite of gay. Anywho, great love story out of Ohio. I now consider it to be the greatest of all time. And no, reading and liking this story does not make me gay. Right?
