James Hogan Obituary
(Age 85)
James passed peacefully on Sunday, April 24, 2011.
James was born to parents Patsy and James Hogan in Bellingham, WA. on July 22, 1925. He graduated Bellingham H.S. in 1942 and enlisted in the U.S. Navy shortly thereafter, serving as a radioman aboard subchasers. He participated in many major engagements in the South Pacific campaigns during WWII.
James graduated college in 1952 with degrees in journalism and advertising. Jim's love of the sea resulted in a 30 year career as a Civil Officer with the Military Sealift Command, circumnavigating the earth many times. His home has been in Spokane since his retirement in 1983.
James is survived by sisters Patricia of Gridwood, AK; Linda of Scotts Valley, CA; brother Larry (Joanne) of Spokane and sons Douglas (Crystal) of Troy, ID., and Steve (Susan) of Rangely, CO., and numerous nephews, nieces and grandchildren.
The family wishes to thank the staffs of Moran Vista and Hospice for their care, concern and kindness during his final days and hours.
Jim's last request was that his remains be scattered at sea.
