After 50 years at the home Bob built, they moved into Heartland Apartments in Clinton, before mov- ing into the Seaforth Manor because of safety concerns with Bob's mobili- ty. Surprisingly, Eileen will be the first to admit, Bob and herself are total opposites. "If he says black, I say white," says Eileen. "We don't think alike." Yet, clearly there's much the two have in common. Frances says the both of them are "really honest, moral people, with good ethics." Ironically, Bob says he never want- ed to live to grow old, but Eileen is cherishing every moment they have. "We've had so many wonderful years with the family," she says. "There's still so much to look for- ward to, we have great grandchil- dren." When asked what the key is to their long lasting relationship, Eileen says she had a goal and she stuck to it. Eileen says she's committed to the marriage so she is going to "see things through." "Both genuinely care about each other," says Frances. Bob's advice to long lasting happi- ness: "Let the women have her own way," he says. The couple celebrated their 70th anniversary with an English tea party, accompanied by some family inside the Manor. When asked if they think - they can beat the standing world record for the longest lasting marriage, which is 80 years, Eileen says she doesn't think about those things, and advis- es any couple, "You just have to go day by day."
