How we reported touching ’Last Kiss’ story

As Harold Wolfe, 95 years old and dying, prepared to enter a hospice facility in Mystic in early January, his wife and children invited The Day reporter Elizabeth Regan and photojournalist Sarah Gordon to spend time with them and document an event made more poignant by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The resulting story and photos were incredibly touching. We spoke with Regan and Gordon about reporting the story and with Community Editor Lee Howard, who connected The Day staff with the Wolfe family. After recording the interviews for the podcasts, we received the update that Harold Wolfe died at 6:00 p.m., Monday, January 17 with his wife Sherry by his side.
