'I put up with him, he puts up with me': Their relationship started with a note passed at work, and nearly eight decades later they still go out for breakfast every morning
June 18 was Lorraine and Russell Davis’ 75-year wedding anniversary.
After marrying in 1949 at the ages of 17 and 19 — so young that Lorraine’s father had to sign permission for the nuptials to happen — the couple settled in Toronto’s Junction neighbourhood and started a family, going on to have five girls and one boy. “When Russ worked shift work, he was never home, because he had a part-time job so we could have groceries,” said Lorraine. “That’s the way it was back then, and I took care of the house and kids.”
Lorraine has also stood by Russell in all of his thrill-seeking adventures, from obtaining his pilot’s license to buying a motorcycle in his 70s — a mode of transportation he only gave up this year.To this day, the couple enjoys spending quality time together and goes out for breakfast every morning, with Stacked Pancake House in Georgetown being one of their favourite spots.“I put up with him, he puts up with me,” said Lorraine with a laugh.
