Not even the risk of acquiring a possibly fatal disease could deter Sam Reck from seeing his dying wife a final time.
With help from the facility’s staff, Sam and JoAnn devised a way of seeing each other regularly. He would perch on a balcony outside his second-floor apartment, while she sat in a shady dining area below.
Though the balcony sessions seemed a romantic way of accommodating the separation, JoAnn endured anguish and failed to understand why Sam no longer spent his days with her. In the photo, Sam sits beside JoAnn’s bed, staring raptly toward her upturned face. She died hours later.Holly Reck said she had to refrain from visiting her father in the hospital because she cares for her elderly mother and feared bringing the virus into her home. She said she held daily video-chat sessions with her father after he entered the hospital July 24.
Sam Reck spent his career working for the National Park Service at various sites in eastern states, finishing his career in Boston. After retirement in the late 1980s, he moved to Jacksonville, and at a church event he met JoAnn, who was recently widowed.
