Stanley and Kate Tucci both loved nature. In 2005, 10 years after they tied the knot, they moved with their three children to a six-acre farmhouse in South Salem, New York. "When my wife Kate died, that certainly [turned my life] completely upside down, and she died in [our] house," he recounted on the podcast "Life is Short with Justin Long."
It was hard for him to leave their family home behind, especially considering the memories tied to the place. "You never stop grieving," he told CBS Sunday Morning. "It's still hard, and it will always be hard." However, he knows that Kate wouldn't want sadness to take over his life or the lives of their children.
Through Kate's health struggles (and later through his own cancer diagnosis), food helped him gauge how she was feeling. Now, he's channeled his years of soul-searching into a cookbook, a food-centered memoir, and even a travel show where he explores Italy's regional cuisines.
