ABC’s “Golden Bachelor” premieres in the Fall. This will mark the first time the successful “Bachelor” franchise helps a “senior” find love.

The chosen one is Gerry Turner. He lives on a lake in Indiana and is 71. How did Gerry get in a situation where he’s looking for love in his golden years? His wife of 43 years passed away of a sudden illness in 2017, just six weeks after retiring. Gerry said he talks to her picture every day and reveals that they both said if one of them were to pass away, the other would want them to be happy.
