He will be sadly missed by his wife, the former Jennifer Egan; children, Colleen Wood; John H. Egan; and Jennifer Egan;

Not only passionate about teaching and coaching, he was always so excited to cheer on his sons and daughters at any sport or activity they were in. He would drive near and far to never miss seeing them play. You were always sure to have at least two fans because he was always with my mom. He always encouraged us to give it our all and was never shy on assisting the refs. We would not be who we are without him!
