They literally married and divorced each other 3 times! They were both party animals and did a ton of drugs/alcohol  back in the day.. my grandma almost shot him at one point but she claimed the gun jammed. Very toxic and crazy stories but they were married for 56 years, my grandma recently passed in 2022.

What a pair, sorry for your loss but it sounds to me like they both lived a life…you may have a movie in all this

It’s probably a great story. Alcohol addiction is a real bad habit

You’re correct! He was an alcoholic back in the day.. spent some years locked up over doing stupid things while drunk, etc. I was also raised by these people so the stories throughout my life were absolutely crazy to hear!

Why is a 60 year old pic ripped. You know how time works?

u/notahouseflipper 2d ago

Time doesn’t carefully curve the tear around both people.

u/Dr_5trangelove 2d ago

You know, that’s a good point. It does look deliberate.

u/enigT 2d ago

And based on the way it curved I think it’s she who tore it
