To the children of Donald Hogg: Shirley and I were saddened to hear of the loss of your father, a classmate of mine in 1954. We had some great times together, both in school and after graduation. Over the years we've had various correspondence with him. I always enjoyed his emails. Our deepest sympathies - Gurvis and Shirley Vines.

I have lots of memories of Don Hogg and our Betz days. Don was a good salesman, positive attitude and a good friend to all. His customers loved him and he always won the sales contests.
