A romantic story that is unique and rare pair experienced by Harold Knapke and Ruth Knapke. Love each other since childhood, married and kept together for almost 66 years, and died on the same day. Really love the lively and deadly.
Harold Knapke(91) and Ruth Knapke(89) first met when both were still sitting in elementary school. Their love began when World War II broke out. Shortly after that, the couple married. Throughout nearly 66 years of their marriage life, Harold and Ruth love life. Until death do them part, to within 11 hours.
Harold and Ruth died on August 11 at the Versailles Health Care Center in Russia, Ohio (USA). Their children say, nine days after they died should be the wedding anniversary of the couple's 66th.
"The fact that they died together it feels reassuring for us," said one of the couple's daughter, Margaret Knapke. "On the one hand it is difficult to lose both parents at the same time. But on the other hand, we feel calm because they go together."
According to Margaret, his father's health is declining drastically over the past year. In fact, during this time the mother is more often sickly. "We even asked myself, 'Why are you still here (still alive)?' Apparently the answer is, my father was still alive to accompany her."
"My father loved her, she is very loyal and want to always accompany her," said Margaret. "At the end of his life, Dad would spend all day in bed. But when he woke up, the first thing he ask is, 'Where's your mother? How is she?'," Said Margaret.
Margaret also revealed that a few days before his death, Ruth has an infection. When this information is conveyed to the father, Harold responded calmly. Three days later, Harold died at 7.30 am.
After the death of Harold, this pair of children surrounds the mother who had lost consciousness and whispered to him, "Dad was waiting for you up there. Do not hold out here for us," said Ted Knapke, boy this pair. That same evening, Ruth died at 6.30 pm.
Both are buried in the same grave. "Mom and Dad us is just regular peoples. But people can learn from their stories, that there is a love that can last forever until death do us part. And this is a wonderful thing," said the girl.
