Not sure what to say?

To Jim´s Family, Thank you for sharing your husband and father as Dr Ogan with so many of us. My children, now age 21 and 19, grew up with a doctor who cared for them in a way very few people will ever experience. He was a partner to our family. He laughed with us, he empathized with us, we were seen and never judged. He was a remarkable human and his memory will always be a part of our family´s story. With our deepest sympathies, The Pleasants Family

I am so saddened to hear about Dr. Ogan´s passing. He took care of our James and I was hoping one day I would get to share with him our new baby Margaret and that I´ve started medical school, inspired by him. Sending prayers to his family.

I did not know him but I wish I had. The obituary is an outstanding homage to a blessed man. The community was fortunate to have him.

Dear Peggy. Thinking of you and wishing you comfort at this very sad time. You and Jim inspired me and so many others through your lived example of service, generosity, grace and kindness. When I think of Jim I remember him in South Africa presenting the concept of " Ubuntu" . He left us a shining example of a life of meaning and purpose.

Peggy and family. I am saddened to hear of Jim's passing. The last time I saw him was your wedding day. Jim and I were in band and orchestra in high school. Happy to see you built a beautiful family and life together. My condolences

Please know that we are thinking about you and celebrating the life of a wonderful man! He left us all an example of how to live purposefully! Our thoughts and prayers are with you. With love, Sue and Gene Corbett

Jim, you will be missed by so many friends and family. God is being blessed by an angel!

Dear Peggy,Erin, and Will, I was sad to read of Jim's passing. I know that you have all had a long and challenging road since Jim's diagnosis. The last time I saw him was when he gave the talk that I attended virtually! I love the photo you put for his obituary. Please know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers as you go on without a very special person in your life. Yvonne

Dear Peggy, you were my favorite PCP for over 20yrs till you retired. You are an amazing person and now know you were married to a saint. My heart breaks for your loss. Jim was an amazing man and truly a life well-lived. Thoughts & Prayers, Sharon Merrick
