Philadelphia Eagles fan gets last laugh with obituary
PORT REPUBLIC, N.J. — A New Jersey man took a parting shot at the Philadelphia Eagles in his obituary.
Jeffrey Riegel, 56, died last Friday. Before his death, the Port Republic, New Jersey, man promised friends a funny message in his obituary.
The longtime Eagles fan’s obituary asked for Riegel “to have 8 Philadelphia Eagles as pall bearers so the Eagles can let him down one last time.”
Riegel was a passionate Eagles fan who owned season tickets for more than 30 years. Sadly, the Eagles never won a Super Bowl during his lifetime.
