Not sure what to say?

Bill, and his brother Tom, were third cousins of mine. I just recently found out that Bill had died in 2002. After Tom died the rest of the family lost track.

It is good to read these remembrances and see what a respected teacher he was.

I took several courses in History with Fr. Hogan. What a pleasure. He took time out to give me advice at a difficult time in my life. He will be truly missed by all the people whose lives he touched. Good Bless You.

I had one of my first History classes with Fr. Hogan as a freshman at Loyola in 1996. despite his age and failing health, he never failed to convey his love of History and academia. He was a very intelligent and caring man and his presence will be missed by everyone in the History Department.

I had Fr. Hogan for my Senior History Colloquium at Loyola University in the spring of 1990. It was a seminar class and each group of 2 or 3 students had to lead the discussion but after the first 15 minutes during the student led discussion he often began lecturing for the rest of the 2.5 hour class!

I was in the Glee Club and Choir at St. Ignatius H.S. while Fr. Hogan was a Scholastic. The thing I admired most about him was that this large barrel bellied man would rise on most of our High Masses and sing Panis Angelicus is a very stron and rich tenor voice.

I know that his fellow priests will sorely miss him.

I remember Fr. Hogan as my 1st year Greek teacher (1954-55) at SICP. Like all of the Jesuits we had during the early 1950's, he was an excellent and dedicated instructor.

I was a student of Fr. Hogan in 1954-55. He taught me first year Greek at St. Ignatius High School. He was demanding and frightening. He mainly frightened us with the prospect of Fr. Dan Flaherty, who was to teach us second year Greek. I've missed them both over the years. I'll see them again.
God bless you Fr. Bill.

I took four courses with Fr. Hogan as an undergraduate history major at Loyola. He was a consummate scholar, who had an encyclopedic knowledge of European and American history always available for immediate recall. I am glad to have had the privilege to have known and worked with him.
