PENNSYLVANIA MAN BURIED WITH CHEESESTEAK

A Pennsylvania man got his final wish when he was buried with two cheesesteaks from his favorite sandwich shop – Pat’s King of Steaks in Philadelphia. According to his grandson, Richard Lussi requested that he wanted to take Pat’s cheesesteaks with him when he went. “No onions,” he would say, “because they’ll come back to haunt me.” The 76-year-old father of four died of heart complications on Oct. 10. Richard Lussi loved the sandwiches even though he had a bad heart and his doctor had warned him to watch what he ate. At family gatherings at his home near Wilkes-Barre, he would often challenge family members to drive 2 1/2 hours to Philadelphia and back to get the sandwiches. The day before his funeral, his son, grandson and two friends made the trip to pick up cheesesteaks for the coffin. They had planned to buy just one until they remembered Lussi always said: “If you’re going to Pat’s you always get two, you never order just one.”
* “You want that to go?” “No, he already went.”
* Kind of an after-bucket list.
* Cheesy idea … cheesy and delicious.
* Did they throw a bag of chips into the coffin?
* Pat’s King of Steaks – to die for, literally.
