Hogan, Robert Dean (Bob or Hogie) 76 passed away October 27, 2016 of congestive heart failure. He was at home In Milwaukie, surrounded by family and a lot of love.
Bob was born in Glasgow, Montana on June 15, 1940 to Clarence & Adeline Hogan. He was Catholic and went to Catholic School In Glasgow through the 8th grade. His father died when he was 15 and his mother moved to Everett, WA to be near her family. He graduated from Everett High School and went Into the Marine Corp for 4 years. Until the day he died he loved being a. Marine. While he was in the Marine Corp. his mother moved to Ashland, Or. and when he came home he stayed in Ashland.
He then moved to the Medford, Or. area where he lived until 1979 when he moved to Portland, Or. He married his first wife Linda and they had 2 children Richard Hogan & Katy Hogan. In 1978 he married Colleen (Kinney) Hogan and he began to father Colleen's son Geo Kinney. Bob and Colleen successfully blended their family and In their minds & hearts all of the children and grandchildren are loved equally. He is survived by Colleen, Richard, Christina, Katy, Geo & Sarah and 7 grandchildren, Oliver, Bella, Jarrett, Savannah, Parker, Myles & Gabby.
After the Marine Corp he worked for 12 years In the loan business, then 20 years as a Real Estate Broker and then he owned Hogies Pub In Oregon City for 10 years.
Bob's two favorite words were Go and Do. He was always up to something. He loved gardening and sharing produce from his garden with everyone. He loved to can vegetables from his garden and would make salsa from his vegetables and give It to friends and others Including his Doctors and Nurses. He loved to fish and take others fishing. He loved all fishing but ocean fishing was his favorite. He caught a lot of salmon, tuna, crabs, etc. Again he would share his catch with family, friends and his Doctors and Nurses. He loved giving things to people. I don't think anyone ever left his home hungry or thirsty.
Bob was one of the most patriotic people anyone could know. He loved the USA and July 4th was his favorite holiday.
He wanted everyone to know how much he appreciated the excellent care he received from his Doctors & Nurses at Providence Milwaukie, Providence Main and through Providence Hospice.
There will be a service and celebration for him on the 30th of November at 11:00AM at Willamette National Cemetery. Contact Colleen Hogan for details.
