Eagles fan makes witty last request in obituary
by from on (#3090B)
A lifelong Philadelphia Eagles fan died last Friday, but not before poking fun at his team one last time in his planned obituary.
Jeff Riegel, 56, of Port Republic, New Jersey, requested "eight Philadelphia Eagles as pallbearers so the Eagles could let him down one last time," according to the Associated Press.
He didn't quite get his wish, though eight friends did wear Eagles jerseys as they laid him to rest.
Riegel was a season-ticket holder for over 30 years, and it's easy to understand his frustration with the team; the Eagles only reached the Super Bowl twice in his lifetime, and lost both contests.
