He had it his way until the end: Man's funeral stops at Burger King

1/28/2013

Mourners in Pennsylvania ordered Double Whoppers with a side of grief on Saturday, as a man’s funeral procession stopped at Burger King to honor his life. World War Two veteran David Kime Jr. lived to the ripe old age of 88 despite his sister’s admission that he ”considered the lettuce on a burger his version of healthy eating.” As a tribute to his love of fast food and a flame-grilled life lived on its own terms, the hearse and funeral party ordered 40 burgers at a York, Pa., drive-thru on their way to the cemetery. A final Whopper was placed atop Kime’s flag-drapped coffin at the graveside. [Source]
