Everyone who met Jeffrey Clayton Riegel loved him, according to his obituary.
But on Thursday, even those who never got a chance to meet the Port Republic man were feeling a little love — and getting a good laugh.
Thanks to the "miracle of time," the 56-year-old was able to give one last wish before his death Aug. 18,
the obituary reads.
"He requested to have 8 Philadelphia Eagles as pall bearers so the Eagles can let him down one last time."
That line not only illustrated the frustration of many a fan, but captured national attention Thursday, the day Riegel was laid to rest.
