Not sure what to say?

I have had the pleasure of knowing Jim (Swift Eagle") Hogle since I was a small child. I was very saddened to hear that he left us. Jim was a "Class Act" if there ever was one. It was always fun to talk to Jim at the Zoo. My deepest condolences to Theda, Patrick, and all the Hogle family. Many fun memories I have with all the Hogles. The quick wit and wicked sense of humor runs in the family. I know that Holly and "Hoge" will be hanging out on the other side. He will be missed.

It was an honor to have known such a gentle/gentleman.

I meet Jim after the end of his college years. Sorry to hear of the loss, may god bless.

I remember laughing my head off at the foot poking up from the quicksand. I remember when penguins could be seen down below the ramp, behind a large glass window. Of course there is still the iconic lion drinking fountain. In my 50s now and living in Denver, I still visit the Hogle Zoo whenever I am in Salt Lake. Mr. Hogle left a remarkable legacy...
