Harmon never lived to see his shack become a regional burger empire; he died in a plane crash in 1967. He also never lived to see his life-size statue unveiled just outside Whataburger's fancy Corpus Christi flagship store in 1999.
Bronze Harmon sits on a bronze bench in the shade of the restaurant's awning, his arm slung across the bench back as an invitation to join him while you eat your Whataburger. He has a toothy grin and a shirt pocket full of cigars.
