OMG this is True Love!

JOHNSTOWN — People who knew James and Marjorie Landis of Westmont said the two were nearly always together.

The former Marjorie Engelbach met the dashing Air Force pilot at a dance in Johnstown. They were out with other people that night, but eventually the two began dating and were married in 1946.

In September, they celebrated their 65th anniversary.

On Monday, Marjorie Landis, 87, died at Laurelwood Care Center following a long illness. Just 88 minutes later, James Landis, 89, suffered a heart attack and followed his wife in death.

He had been at her side when she died. They were both surrounded by their loving family.

“The last thing he said to her was, ‘It’s OK. I love you. We had many good years together. I will see you real soon,’ ” granddaughter Erin (Landis) Miller of Johnstown recalled.

“I just think he died of a broken heart,” she said. “I don’t think they could have lived apart from each other.”
