Floyd and Virginia Schooles married Jan. 26, 1932 they both died Nov. 6, 2008

Floyd Schooles often vowed, "I do not want to live one day longer than my wife."

Virginia Harris Schooles died peacefully Thursday at 12:20 a.m., in bed at their Lakeside home. Floyd followed about 10:15 p.m. in the room he shared with his wife of 76 years.

Both were 99.

They jokingly attributed their longevity to visits to St. Augustine, Fla., where they drank from the Fountain of Youth. They loved children, especially babies. Last week, from their wheelchairs, they handed out candy to trick-or-treaters.

Each worried about outliving the other.

1. Just read that. What a touching, sweet story.
99 years old, both of them. :cry:

They had a good run.
