My name is W. Sherman Rogers, 7254 Single Wheel Path, Columbia, MD 21046. Dr. Egan was my dentist for about 35 years. I have not been in for a visit in several years. I only found out that Dr. Egan had passed when I attempted to call the office to make an appointment today (Monday 9-26-22). Dr. Egan was a great man of high integrity and an excellent dentist. I shall miss him greatly! I am mourning his loss.

Our prayers and condolences to Barbara and the Egan family. Tom's dedicated dental practice served so many for generations, including our youngest grandson. His dedication to youth baseball is a legacy that will not be forgotten, nor will his devotion to St. John the Baptist parish and school. May warm memories of Tom bring peace and comfort to his family.

The Egan practice was truly a family place and for years we drove over 2 hours for the 60 second interactions about life and get a good cleaning. His staff was always super pleasant for over 40 years! God Bless

Doc was an inspiration to me and countless others. He represented the perfect but often rare model for coaching, knowledge of the game, discipline, fairness, and genuine caring for each player and their families. He took me into the fold when my son Grant was ten. I coached with Doc and tried to fill in for him from time to time when he was away. I learned so much from him and am proud to have been able to be part of the Storm family for many years. Rest in peace my friend. The Sellmans are truly thankful for being along for part of the ride. Our sincerest condolences go out to Barb, the Egan family and the extended baseball family. Doc will always exist in our memories and will be truly missed.
