Lois Vidimos misses the touch of her husband's hand most.
Whenever they took a drive, Robert Vidimos II â better known as R.J. â would throw the car in park, walk around the back and take her hand as he held her door open. Always a gentleman, R.J.âs small gesture made her feel like Cinderella getting out of her carriage â even if they were just running an errand to Wal-Mart.
"It's the oddest thing, but it's one of the hardest thingsâ I've had to face since heâs been gone, Lois said.
After fighting COVID-19 on his Ames couch for two weeks, R.J. died from complications of the disease on Nov. 16. He was 58.
