A man has revealed his dying wife encouraged him to track down his former flame that he hadn't seen for 40 years because she didn't want him to be lonely - and the reunited pair are now married. Despite believing they were soulmates, the pair lost contact after DeeDee refused to move to Scotland to be with Bob, and he went on to marry first wife Helen and have four children. Sadly, Helen died of leukaemia after 31 years of marriage and further tragedy was in store for Bob when he also lost his second wife, Jo, to cancer in 2015. But fearing he'd be lonely, she encouraged him to find DeeDee, the actress from LA he often talked about.
