Dying Man's Wish Of Driving Around A Krispy Kreme Truck Fullfilled
The self-employed marketing consultant, diagnosed three years ago with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, dreamed that one day he would steal a Krispy Kreme truck and drive around Durham, N.C., handing out free donuts. He'd be like a modern day Robin Hood, spreading smiles and sugary goodness.
Rosati revealed his delicious, dastardly plan earlier this year while speaking at Durham Academy, his high school alma mater, the News Observer reports. The degenerative and ultimately deadly disorder had slowed him down, he told the students, but life is too short to not steal a Krispy Kreme truck.
But as the 42-year-old Rosati's strength dwindled, so did his heist hopes. So the marketing professional hedged his bets, and started a Facebook page.
"I want to steal a Krispy Kreme truck," Rosati wrote on the page. "Actually I'm too weak now. But if this page gets enough love and attention, I'm hoping KK will lend me a driver and a loaded truck so I can ride around giving away donuts and making people smile!"
