Happy Place

A 94 year old WWII veteran developed a life long love of Juicy Fruit gum from when he served in the war. Wrigley took their gum off the market in the US during the war to direct all their product to the servicemen and Suttie Economy brought the love for Juicy Fruit home with him,he always carried several packs so he could share with whoever he might meet. He recently made it known that he wanted his casket to be painted like a pack of Juicy Fruit,so his friend,the owner of a funeral service, contacted Wrigley to get permission and was turned down. He turned to Facebook with the story and it was seen by someone who knew contact information for the Wrigley president. A few days later permission was granted plus Mr. Economy was sent 250 packs of Juicy Fruit. Presently they are looking for a painter willing to tackle the job,but no hurry,after all Mr. Economy is only 94!
