I miss Dr. Egner so much. He had become a dear friend of mine after he had saved my life as my doctor. I will always value my friendship with him and his dear wife, Teash! May you both rest in peace with your Savior, Jesus Christ! John H. Schultz Dacula, Georgia

Requescat in pace , John . Our friendship ,both personal and professional, dates back almost seventy years ! So many memories! My sincere condolences to all the children and their offspring. Gerry Buetow, M.D.
