Couple married for 62 years die together

BAKERSFIELD, CA: -- Even in death, a couple married for nearly 62 years were inseparable.


Don and Maxine Simpson from Bakersfield, California, died four hours apart on adjoining beds, holding hands during some of their final hours.

Melissa Sloan said her grandmother died first and when her body was removed from the room, her husband followed.

"All Don wanted was to be with his beautiful wife. He adored my grandmother, loved her to the end of the earth," she told KERO-TV.

He was 90 and she was 87, and they met at a bowling alley in Bakersfield in 1952, getting married in the same year.

Man! Gotta love it. I hope me and the missus end up like that. I actually plan on living forever. So far, so good.Too may couples call it quits after a few years. I can imagine the struggles, arguments and hard times they went through through during there marriage and still stayed together. Bravo!
