We respect and admire Dr. and Mrs. Egleston greatly. Dr. Egleston was an inspiration and a role model for many young physicians including myself. I am grateful for his guidance on interpretation of difficult radiographs, as well as his tremendous professionalism. His devotion to his family, our parish, our profession, and our community was exceptional. His wonderful sense of humor and delightful liturgical music were a blessing to all.
Please know of our prayers for Dr Egleston and Helen and the entire family. May God Bless Dr. Egleston and his family now and always!
Sincerely,
Mike and Marcia Wolohan and Family

Wonderful memories of my Uncle Tony and the Egleston family. Our two families spent a great amount of time together. Whether it be at each other's house, the country club, the cottage up north or my Uncle showing up at our house to show off his new bicycle. Fond memories, and remembering his smile and always a kind word for the Mulhern kids.
May he rest in peace and once more be reunited with his siblings and family. You will be sorely missed, but know the lasting impressions you left with the people and patients that knew you will continue to carry on....
Love always...... David Mulhern

I remember when we did Saginaw River raft race and a party afterwards at his house. Gracious host and hostess. Also a personal private wager. He bet me if I quit smoking for a year he'd pay me some cash and he did. Great guy. He will be missed.
