The couple had never been apart except for when Tom was stationed in Korea with the Army, and hospital staff couldn't bear to see them apart.

So Tina Mann, a manager, organized for him to visit her every day.

Mr. Clark was overwhelmed by the kind gesture.

"I just can't be away from her, she's the finest woman in the world," Tom told the hospital staff through tears.
