t the predecessor to Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law. During his tenure, he taught taxation, estate planning, and philanthropy. Professor Jegen was devoted to Indiana University and to his students. He found his calling in teaching and shared his joy of learning and of the law. He believed greatness lay within all his students and sought to help them grow throughout their careers even years after graduation. His teaching extended far beyond the law school as well. He co-founded the Indiana Bar Review, now part of the Indianapolis Bar Association, and gave over 400 bar review tax lectures over 35 years. He also co-founded the Annual Tax Institute for Colleges and Universities with Stewart T. Cobine, which educated thousands of lawyers and accountants from 1994 to 2010. Professor Jegen received many awards throughout his storied career, including the President's Distinguished Teaching Award from IU President John Ryan in 1987 and The Teaching Excellence Recognition Award from the IU Board of Trustees in 1997. In 1993 and 2005 he received the Thomas Hart Benton Mural Medallion, which is the highest award granted by Indiana University. He was especially grateful for the "Black Cane Award" he received six times from students recognizing him as the most outstanding law professor. He was also honored by three Indiana governors with a "Sagamore of the Wabash" (Governors Welsh, Whitcomb, and Bowen). Professor Jegen's contributions to the enactment of ERISA were recognized with an invitation to attend the signing of ERISA in the Rose Garden on September 2, 1974, which he attended along with President Gerald Ford, members of Congress and other dignitaries. ERISA remains one of the most important tax and labor acts of legislation ever enacted. Professor Jegen is survived by his son, David Jegen, of Newton, Massachusetts, his daughter-in-law Cindy Greene, his grandchildren Alina and Ames Jegen, and the mother of his children and former wife, Janet Jegen. He is also survived by his sister, Mary Kae Headland of Indian Head Park, Illinois, and niece, Holly Ann Oliver of Beecher, Illinois, and by his companion Linda Nichols Kenny of Indianapolis. He was preceded in death by his daughter Christine Marie Jegen, an enduring light in Professor Jegen and all her family. Professor Jegen was a teacher, a maverick and a master storyteller. He lived life on his own terms. He was loved and will be missed, but may his legacy live on in the hearts of those he touched. A Celebration of Life service has been planned for Sunday, June 3rd, at the Indiana State House, 200 West Washington Street, Indianapolis, in the North Atrium at 3:00 pm.
