To Bill and The Egan Family:-

It's been so many years, Bill. Your dad was a great guy. He new the value of hard work and it looks like he instilled it in his family.

I suspect his life was as good as it was long.

And I hope you're doing well.

To the Egan Family:
In the mid 1960's to early 1970's there was a regular foursome at Charles River Country Club every weekend. It consisted of Wally Miller, Tom Houlihan, John Egan and my Dad, Bob Barry. I had many opportunities to caddy for that group. They were great pals. Mr. Egan was a very nice man. Please accept my condolences.
