Dear Mrs. Egan, Jackie & everyone in the Egan family,
I was so sorry to about the passing of Mr. Egan. I have not been on Long Island for over 5 weeks and just heard the sad news. Please accept my deepest sympathies. I can only imagine the sadness and loss you are all feeling at this time. Please take comfort in all the wonderful memories that you have all shared and know that he is up there watching out for all of you as he did here on Earth.
Jackie, I'll get in touch with you when I return to Long Island at the end of August. I am so sorry.

So many of my memories of Grandpa were of us discussing something intellectual or hysterical. His mind was so sharp, his wit so quick, and his sense of humor so warm. I loved sitting at the dinner table at Christmas just listening to him go back and forth with everyone. No matter who they were, he always made everyone feel welcome and loved.
Our trips to New Hampshire, as most of the family will probably agree, were probably the most memorable. He was so happy and serene sitting on the porch...Still the best spot in the world to watch Fourth of July fireworks!
But the best memory of all? His hugs and kisses...Always warm and full of unconditional love.
There is a big hole in many hearts without him here...We'll miss you, Grandpa.

For those of you who may not know me I am Christine Tanza's fiance and I just wanted to write a few words about Grandpa.
I remember the first time that I met Grandpa, it was for his 75th birthday and we all were getting together at aunt Kelly's house. As you could imagine I was very nervous to meet the ranking member of the family. As we were driving to the party Christine was telling me to make sure that I address her Grandparents as Mr and Mrs Egan, as they are very strict in that regards. So now we pull up in front of the house and before we get out she reminds once again to call them Mr and Mrs Egan. We walk into the back yard and as Christine is makeing the introductions I am repeating to myself in my head Mr and Mrs Egan. I approach her grandfather stick out out my my hand and say "nice to meet you MR. EGAN" He smiles and shakes my hand and tells me to call him GRANDPA!
This is a testament to the warmth of this man. He opened up his heart and home and made me feel very welcome and comfortable around the family.
He will be truely missed and remebered forever.
