I am so sorry for the loss of Don. I knew Don many years ago when I lived in Peoria. Him and my Dad James "Decker" Johnson worked at Pabst together. They bowled on a morning bowling league and some mornings Don would come home with my Dad. My Dad passed away in 1988 but we had already moved from Peoria and back to Kentucky. I still keep up with Peoria news by going on line. I still consider Peoria my home. Again I am very sorry and prayers go out to the Egan family. Jean Fogle
