Read full article: Take it to the grave: Roanoke man wants to be buried in Wrigleyโs Gum casket - and it looks like heโll get his wishThatโs the case for one Roanoke man whoโs known to share Wrigleyโs Gum with everyone he meets. John has been in Roanoke for a few months to be by Suttieโs side as his health declines. Suttie asked Sammy Oakey at Oakeyโs Funeral Home to have his casket painted like the iconic gum box. And before he knew it, hundreds of packs of gum were on their way to Roanoke, and he had good news to share. Suttieโs family said his health is improving, and thatโs a good thing, because they need someone to give away all the gum.
