Rick Veigel my buddy and best friend since jr high.You were/are one of the toughest,kind hearted,funniest,and most loyal friend a man could have. It was my privilage being part of your life. We had the best times in jr. high and h.s. we joined the army together, we went to college together, and my ky family became your family. You fought in three toughman contest basically to make me proud and one time just cause I needed you to and you did it on 30minutes notice, we had lots of fun on double dates all the time in ohio and in ky. You risk your life to save mine in a raging river when we were 16 and sure to drown. We were fraternity brothers but more important just brothers period. You knew everything about me and I knew everything about you and some say we spoke our own language. (your the one!) your it ! eeh! etc people who knew us know what I am talking about. We had a blast last summer. I never dreamed it would be the last time I saw you. I know you were depressed over your mothers death!! No one can even begin to imagine the years of fun and things we went threw over 36 years of being friends. I love you brother and you rest up a little til I get there and it will be on again someday. Your best friend always !!!!!! GREG CAUDILL ps tell mamaw mary to fix you that big breakfast up there and tell her hellow!
