Dear Laura, Olivia and Sean,

On behalf of the Egan family, you all are in our daily prayers and our hearts are filled with sorrow. I will always remember Paul as a "man's man" who loved sports and was proud of his Irish roots.

More importantly, Olivia and Sean, know that your Dad loved you and was immensely proud of you -as evidenced "publicly" each time I spoke with him.

He was an inspiration to me as I witnessed his strength and his courage as he fought an...

To Laura, Olivia and Sean -

I am deeply saddenned by the loss of Paul. I had the priviledge of knowing and working alongside of Paul for several years here at Oppy, Los Angeles. When I think of Paul, I think of all his incredible wit and sense of humor, and all of the sporting events I have attented with him - an incredible appetite for sports!!

Paul you are a GREAT man - I will miss you. Laura, Oliva and Sean I so sorry for your loss. He taught me so much in the way he lived his life to the very end. It is a comforting thought knowing he is looking down on us from heaven. God Blees you during these sad times, All my pryaers

Just a wonderful man to work with her at Oppenheimer. It's true, only the good ones die young. This time one of the best. God bess his family. We battled cancer together for years and as long as I'm here, he'll be remembered well. Bob Riedel

Laura, Olivia, Sean:
We didn't get to know Paul well, but we treasure the time we were able to spend with you, Olivia, and your mom, as you went through the RCIA process. We know how much he meant to all of you as a husband and father. We can only imagine how much he'll be missed. You will all always be in our thoughts and prayers, and we're here if you need us.

Laura, Olivia & Sean,
Please except our deepest sympathies for your loss.
Words will fail to convey the void and hollowness that we are feeling.
Paul taught us a lot about character in the way he handled his battle with optimism, dignity and strength.
I’ll always think of him when I hear a Social D song, go to a Hawks game or see a sorry playoff beard.
We’ll miss him every day.

“Grief is the price we pay for love”

Paul loved his Hawks and Cubbies.

To Laura, Olivia and Sean - We are deeply saddened by the loss of Paul. He was a great man who touched many people during his short time with us. Our last Thanksgiving together was something we will never forget and cherish forever. Cheers brother and GO HAWKS!

To Laura, Olivia, & Sean - Our thoughts and prayers are with you. I am so fortunate to have been able to meet Paul when we visited my brother Rick in California. He will be truly missed.
