95-Year-Old Newlywed Man Passes Away

I have previously discussed the contentious marriage occurring between 96-year-old Edith Hill and 95-year-old Eddie Harrison earlier this year.

Unfortunately, Harrison passed away just weeks after family members took Hill away to Florida.  Hill’s time in Florida was supposed to be a two week vacation, however, when Hill did not return home as planned, Harrison began to realize she was not coming back.  He became heartbroken and checked himself into a hospital after falling ill with the influenza.  Harrison died shortly thereafter.  Rebecca Wright, who was caring for the couple in their Virginia home, said, “He lived for her, and she lived for him.  It’s the love story of the century.”
