JOHN TIMOTHY HOGAN obituary

JOHN HOGAN Obituary

JOHN TIMOTHY HOGAN was born in Toronto on February 9, 1939. He lived life to the fullest for almost 84 years until December 30, 2022. His long, long, long list of friends goes back as far as high school including Etobicoke Collegiate, Royal York Collegiate and then Western University. Tim often spoke of his reputation on all three football teams as the 'Deeky Running Back' whilst wearing his #26 jersey. Tim enjoyed a successful career in the car business. Firstly with his father at Simpson Motors. He was a Ford Dealer, a Toyota Dealer, a General Motors Dealer and retired from Garden Motorcar Mercedes Benz in Burlington/Hamilton where he happily ran it alongside Debbie and two of his children Michael and Kelly. Words fall inadequate to describe a man larger than life to so many. He left a huge void in the lives of his children, Kelly (Darrin), Michael (Karen), Marc and Amy (Jay); his grandchildren, nieces, nephews, sisters and sisters and brothers-in-law. He was predeceased by his parents Jack and Leona, his sister Joan Griffin and brother Ainslie. When Timmy left us last December he broke the heart of his best friend, soul mate and wife Debbie (nee Welch). They loved the outdoors, travelled the world, played golf, tennis, squash, scuba-dived, and skied to name a few. Married was an understatement, the two were magic 'glass half full' kind of couple. After retiring in 2006 they have enjoyed life with family and friends old and new in their two 'happy' places where life will never be the same in Muskoka and Vasari in Bonita Springs Florida. WE WILL MISS YOU FOREVER.

It is with much fondness and a pang of regret that I remember Tim Hogan. Tim was the social star of our newly opened Etobicoke grade school, Park Lawn, in 1951; and as classmates in Grades 8 and 9, and football teammates, too, he left an indelible impression.

Years later, I attended his and Gail's 25th wedding anniversary, and I remember thinking how much I missed out in not remaining in his orbit.
