Was just thinking about Tom this morning and it brought a smile to my face. How ironic and symbollic I received this Legacy reminder today. Wow. One of my best frinds ever. Rarely a time we were not laughing, joking or busting eachother's chops back and forth. Loved him and his family, and that he trusted his sons career start with me to get him going. Another honor. Miss him dearly but often cite and refer to him as if he is still with me, and I know he is.

To The Egan Family:
I am so sorry for your loss. I grew up with Tom when we lived in Fairfield and if I recall we were in Fairfiled Woods Jr High School together. Reading his obituary he had good life which ended way to young. As a kid Tom was fun to be with and had a warm personality not to mention his sense of humor. He will be missed. Rest In Peace my friend.

Kathy and Family,
I first met Tom in 1986 at Ct Natl Bank, Bpt and was crazy about him at first sight! We always had a riot of a time whenever he was around...Then, we were all transferred to New Haven with a merger: First Bank??? And that's where he met you, Kathy...I loved working at One Church with Lenny Berger, John Severson, Rick Motasky, Rick Martin, June Allison, and Kathy, you worked downstairs in the main branch. You always were a very fun and nice person to be around...perfect fit for Tom. I am so saddened that one-half has gone...but neither of you to be forgotten. May God comfort you at this difficult time...

My Prayers are with the Egan Family, Tom played a large part in the reason why I remained in mortgage banking back in 1989 when I first met him at Connecticut National Mortgage/Shawmut Mortgage company, he was very kind and understanding to us newer mortgage bankers back then and he carried a ton of knowledge and wisdon that he shared with us often when we saw him in the halls or during the many mortgage bankers functions we attended together.

Kathy, Alyssa and Justin,
Words cannot express how deeply saddened I am to hear of Tom's passing. The obituary said it all about Tom. His warm greeting and infectious smile was always welcoming and his friendship was a blessing. Gardner Lake was a special place for him. I will hold many, many fond memories of Tom spent with all of you in my heart.

Irish Blessing
May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields and,
Until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
