USF Athletics Remembers Rev. Joseph F. Eagan, S.J.
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. – The University of San Francisco family is saddened to acknowledge the recent passing of Rev. Joseph F. Eagan, S.J., who taught at the university for two decades and was an instrumental figure in the building of Negoesco Stadium.
Eagan, who taught theology at USF, died peacefully at age 100 on Dec. 20 at the St. Camillus Jesuit Community in Wauwatosa, WI.
His time at USF included two round-the-world sabbatical years to study the world religions and the global Catholic Church and biennial meetings of Jesuit ecumenists in Europe, Africa and Asia. He also served as associate pastor at two San Francisco parishes.
