Throughout his lifetime, Regan worked for the Corp of Engineers, as a mechanic for the Navy, an assembler for the Chrysler Company, painted houses with his father at Ft. McCoy and even though it was physically challenging, chopping wood, which he would always say “it keeps me healthy.” Regan had a kind and gentle spirit, he loved children and adored his many nieces and nephews. Regan was very proud of his military services and cherished the relationships he made along the way and with his fellow veterans at the Tomah VA Medical Center. Being an avid outdoorsman, Regan’s favorite moments were found in nature; fishing, hunting, camping, and travelling always brought him joy and contentment.
