PLAINS, Pa. (AP) — A Pennsylvania man who always joked that he wanted to take something to eat when he died has gotten his wish.
Richard Lussi’s family buried him with two cheesesteaks from Pat’s King of Steaks in Philadelphia — topped with Cheez Whiz but no onions.
His grandson, Dominic, told The Philadelphia Inquirer when the family asked what he wanted, his grandfather replied: “What do you think? Pat’s cheesesteak! Pat’s Whiz without, no onions
because they’ll come back to haunt me.”
The 76-year-old father of four died of heart complications on Oct. 10.
His son, grandson and two friends drove two-and-a-half hours to Philadelphia the day before his funeral and bought two cheesesteaks for the coffin.
