Patrick J. Mogan

Patrick Mogan was a giant in my eyes, he was so special and kind to all of us at The Reilly school. I will always remember him and know he was there for all of us, I was a member of the first kindergarden class at The Reilly so I think he had a place in his heart for us ! Patrick Mogan you will be missed, God love you.... My prayers are with you sir.

Pat Mogan was a dignified visionary who never, ever gave up and wouldn't let anyone else give up. I worked in Lowell with the Lowell Historic Preservation Commission in the early '80's and we have Pat to thank for his persistence on behalf of Lowell.

Such a great thinker and doer! We will never forget how he made Lowell a welcoming workshop for new ideas and allowed thousands of people to be part of something big. We will miss him dearly.

I still remember my first day at the Reilly Scool hearing Mr. Mogan welcoming us to the new school. So new you could hear saw and hammers in the background. I want to thank Mr Mogan for teaching us his vision of Lowell. In the 5th and 6th grades he taught classes on the history of Lowell. This instilled a love for the city that I still treasure to this day.

Dr. Mogan was an incredible individual with the biggest heart ever. I had the pleasure of working for him on one of the school department's federal grants that he was instrumental in getting for the city. It was an experience that made a huge impact on my life. Rest in Peace dear man with your beloved Mary! My sympathy goes out to all your family.

My deepest sympathies to the Mogan and Pollard families. My late grandmother, Mildred (Cooney) McMahon, was a cousin to the Pollard's, and Mary and Dr. Mogan were such a big help in my family history research. They were a pleasure to know. Rest peacefully with Mary, Dr. Mogan.

Warmly,
Rory Noonan

May you find eternal peace with Mary and the rest of your family and friends.

I, too, remember him from the Malloy School. He was a man born to educate, care and lead. A man of vision, who will be sorely missed by all.

Mr. Mogan was my first encounter with a school Principal. It was rare in my childhood experience to meet someone who sincerely embraced their love for children as an Educator. He led by example and knew all of his students. I met him at the Reilly School. He was creative in bringing in programs, led students through the streets of Boston on exciting field trips, and enriched our lives in many, many ways. Later, in my life I worked as an Educator myself with his amazing wife Mary. They were...
