"You have to trust each other, you gotta give and take, and then time flies by, just try to be loyal to each other, that's all," said Clifford.

They have five children, eight grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

"Awesome milestone," said Linda Rohloff. "We're very proud of our parents. They're very active in the community. There's a baseball/softball team named after them."
