Roxbury couple celebrates 70 years of marriage
A local couple will celebrate 70 years of marriage later this month.
Raymond and Barbara Hunicke, who have lived in Roxbury for decades, married on May 17, 1947 and had four children. They started the LewisCorporation, a company that manufactured cleaning equipment.
Communication has been their secret to success for 70 happy years, said Barbara Hunicke.
“We were saying the other day we really never argued,” she said. “If we had a disagreement we talked it over, but we never got so mad that we stormed out or anything like that.”
It didn’t hurt, she said, that if one of them did something “wrong,” he or she would put a dollar in a jar. Then, they would go out to dinner together.
The two met shortly after Raymond, now 91, graduated from Cornell University and Barbara, now 94, finished served in the U.S. Navy, repairing ships used during World War II.
They grew up in the same town in New Jersey, but did know each other well until they ended up at the same bridge game. “He was maybe two blocks away, but in a younger class and way back then you didn’t talk to anybody that was in a younger class,” Barbara Hunicke said.
They went on some group dates and then out to dinner. She does not remember the particular moment she fell in love with Raymond. “I guess it came slowly,” she said.
The couple moved to the Danbury area to work at a transistor company before buying a house in Roxbury which had no electricity or running water. They repaired the home, eventually adding another wing, a pool, and buying two nearby barns they used as garages.
