Robert "Bob" Egan

Warner, NH.  Robert “Bob” Egan, of Warner, New Hampshire suffered a non-survivable stroke and passed away peacefully on June 15, 2024, at Concord Hospital with his children Jenn and Chris by his side. 

Bob was born on January 26, 1944, in East Orange, New Jersey. He frequently spoke of working on a farm in his early life before transitioning to selling insurance. He was a natural salesman with a strong entrepreneurial streak that inspired him to move his young family to New Hampshire in 1979 where he purchased an ice cream shop and game room. When he added a pizza restaurant, "Egan’s Place" was born. Running a restaurant came with its challenges, but Bob confidently embraced them all. He truly enjoyed the social life of chatting with customers on busy summer nights. From then on, Bob had various restaurants and businesses that employed many of the local teenagers over the years. He has often been described as a “second father” to several past employees.

Bob was a generous man who always lent a helping hand to others. He took immense pride in his business ventures and the many employees who became life-long friends. In recent years, he took joy in renovating rundown houses and turning them into places new owners called home. Always on the lookout for a good deal, he appreciated both the chase and the sale. Buying and selling was his passion.

An obituary can’t truly describe the breadth and depth of the connections Bob made over the years. His family will remember him as a loving, tender, and attentive man who always had their best interests in mind. He loved keeping in touch with family and friends and enjoyed spending time chatting on the phone or meeting for a cup of coffee.

Bob cherished his dogs and loved spending his free time with them, fishing when he found time, feeding the birds, and playing ZZ Top at a high volume. 

Bob is survived by his daughter Jennifer (Phil), his son Chris (Elaine); and his granddaughter Ellie who will miss her Grandpa Bob. He will be dearly missed by his extended family of cousins and nieces as well as many friends.

To honor Bob’s love of his dogs and celebrate his memory, his family asks that donations be made to local animal shelters or rescues.

A celebration of life will be held at 1 pm on August 24th, at 89 Mink Hill Lane in Warner, New Hampshire.
