On their wedding day, two people made a commitment to stick by each other in "sickness and in health."
Those were words of gold to Lou Pertcheck, who stuck by the side of his wife, Pearl, after she suffered a severe stroke.
“Doctor came up and he looked at me and he said, ‘She’s going to be a vegetable the rest of her life,’” Pertcheck told Fox Toledo. “And the only thing I could figure, he waited for me to say, ‘Let her go.’ And I said, ‘No, I don’t want to do that.’”
The couple lived their last years together at the Arbors at Sylvania, a nursing home in Toledo, OH. As seen in the touching video below, Pertcheck took great care of his ailing wife, proving that true love does exist (much like the couple who died hours apart after decades of marriage).
"I wouldn't trade her for anything in the world," Pertcheck also told the news station.
His wife passed away in February 2012. Pertcheck followed months later at the age of 98, according to his obituary.
"Along with his wife Pearl, he enjoyed a circle of friends that often dined out together, enjoying each other's company," it read.
