John “Sean” F. Egan – a longtime resident of Woburn, died peacefully, November 7^th, surrounded by his family, at the age of eighty-seven. He was the beloved husband of the late June C. (Rania) Egan. 

Born and raised in Galway, Ireland, John was a son of the late John and Mary (Moran) Egan. At the age of 19, John set out to start a new life. He first moved to England where he started as a lightweight boxer. A little while later, he ventured out to the United States to walk his sister down the isle, and never left. 

He met the love of his life, June and in 1962, they married. Together they raised three daughters in Woburn to whom they were devoted.

John was a master plasterer and owned and operated Sean Egan Plastering for many years.  Though he excelled professionally, where John truly found greatness was in his role as husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend.  

John was a founding member of the Woburn Irish American Club as well as a member of the VFW. He was an avid outdoorsman who loved camping, spending time with his family and golfing. He will always be remembered for his unique golf swing. 

 He was a confident, authentic, honest and loyal gentleman, and if you were a friend, you were a friend for life. He will be deeply missed but never forgotten.
