Orville Redenbacher

People used your popcorn in popcorn poppers.
You were the one and only Orville Redenbacher.
Sadly, you died twenty-two years ago today.
Your popcorn is still being eaten and it's here to stay.
People were sad when you died in 1995.
You're deceased but your legacy survives.

[Dedicated to Orville Redenbacher (1907-1995) who died on September 19, 1995.]
