Mr. Hogan was a proud serviceman in the United States Army in which he heroically defended

A lover of all genres of music, Mr. Hogan, like his favorite song, was truly “One in a Million!”

has been called to a higher service. May his soul rest in peace and perpetual light shine upon his beautiful face.
