David Kime Jr. «lived by his own rules, "said his daughter Linda Phiel. He regarded the lettuce on a hamburger his version of healthy eating, he said.
To give it a whopper of a farewell Saturday, the funeral procession stopped at a Burger King where bereavement has gotten a sandwich in the street.
Kime got one last patties too, reported the York Daily Record. It was placed atop his casket flag to the cemetery.
Phiel said that the display was not a joke, but rather a happy way to honor her father and the things that brought him joy.
"She lived a wonderful life and on his own terms," he said.
Kime, 88, a veteran of World War II, died on Jan. 20.
Restaurant Manager Margaret Hess said he knew his face and his order. She and her crew made 40 hamburgers for the funeral procession.
"It's nice to know that he was a loyal customer to the end, at the end," he said.
