It's heartbreak for the Freda Family of New Jersey as they lost Larry and Vicki Freda to COVID-19 on the same day.

The couple had been married for 62 years, according to People.com.

Lawrence Freda was 85 when he passed away from novel coronavirus on April 24th. His beloved wife Victoria Freda, 83, succumbed to the illness just hours later.

Even more devastating, Larry and Vicki's 51-year-old son, John, died from COVID-19 just two days earlier.

Lawrence Freda was reportedly an Army vet, worked for Pabst Blue Ribbon Brewery for more than 20 years, and was also a custodian at a New Jersey high school.

Victoria Freda retired the executive secretary for the mayor of Fairfield, NJ, 13 years ago.
