Garret Egan Obituary

We are so sorry for your loss. Gary will be sadly missed.

I had the great fortune of knowing Gary through my dearest friend Marian. It was a honor to be a part of the their wedding so many years ago and a privilege to witness their long lasting love story. They truly were soulmates. I loved how Gar made Marian laugh and always involved himself in our conversations, interjecting his witty quips and stories erupting in thunderous roars of laughter. Thank you for making Marian happy. Rest In Peace May God hold you in the palm of his hand.

Shortly after losing "Axe", ran into Gary at St Paul's flea mkt.His hugs and kind words are still with me today. Give him a Big Hug Gar, go Phillies! Love we have put our hope in You, Psalm 33:22

Garret was a fun loving person. He was a caring person always checking with others to see how they were doing. He was a great husband and father to his wife and daughter. He was very kind to everyone. He was loved so much others would never hesitate to do anything for him. They say to have a strong sense of humor is a sign of intelligence, Gar proved this to be true. He loved nature and gardening. I will miss my childhood Pinewood friend.

I'll love you forever and I so miss your smiling face, warm heart and irrepressible humor...

I met Gary in first grade at Saint Michaels in Levittown. We became fast friends when we discovered about each other an appreciation of the local flora and fauna of Levittown . To this day I have on my dresser a fossil i found in a soon to be developed field near Garys house . He had success finding them there so the hunt was on.Our paths continued to intersect over the course of our lives . After shared greetings the first thing Gary would ask me was Do you still have the fossil? LOL. It continues to exist as a kind of reminder of my friend Gary . Easily one of the kindest souls Ive had the good fortune to meet . Travel well Gary Nothing but Love , Dave .

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

Rip Gary an original classic pine wood Pooler. Great times hard times sad times you was always gona be Gary nothing more nothing less. Our travels togeather were an adventure all ways you and kev are in my memories books as a laugh a minute. Say hi to the boys for me. Have fun fishing with John.

Gary was always fun to be around. Witty, full of curiosity and he got life and he knew how to be a friend. Most of us walk with or heads on rotation. Gary walked with his eyes searching the ground all around. We would be looking at stuff. Gary would be finding stuff. An avid John Prine fan, Gary would embellish Prine and it worked, most of the time. Our circle continues to shrink on one layer and grows in others. My condolences to your family and friends, old friend. I will celebrate your good times and cherish those memories. Peace.

Always brought a smile to my face......one of the good guys!!! I will miss seeing you around!!!

you were one of a kind my friend.....
