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, Ruthie, 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 65th 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.

If you are at all concerned with what’s happening in this country you must be baffled by the incompetence displayed in this administration and in the government at all levels. Regardless of what side of the political ideological line you fall on; ish is messed up! We are in a downward spiral that no one seems to want to fix.
