A Missouri husband and wife who had been married for 65 years died just hours apart from each other Saturday, holding hands in adjacent beds at a nursing home in St. Louis. Jack Morisson met his future wife, Harriet, when he was a bus driver chauffeuring her father on a trip with a drum and bugle corps. Harriet was accompanying her dad on that trip and went on her first date with Jack on Halloween 1955. On Christmas Eve, Wagener told Jack that Harriet had stopped eating and drinking. The nurse asked if staff could move furniture out of Jack’s room so the couple could be together.
