Last week, we celebrated John and Maryann Friend on their 65th Wedding Anniversary at Belhaven Center!
Their love story began in 1959, when John, stationed at the West Hampton Air Force Base, walked into a little ice cream parlor in Laurel, Long Island, and met Maryann. With a bit of help from her sister, John got Maryann’s number, and the rest is history. They married in 1960, built a life together in Patchogue, and were blessed with two daughters. Today, they are proud grandparents of four grandsons and one great-grandchild.
From sharing sweet moments to cutting cake hand-in-hand, their bond is as strong as ever. 💕
Please join us in congratulating John & Maryann on this incredible milestone! 🥂✨
