In my early years, I watched John Hogan on WGN-TV News, learning something new each day about life across the Chicago metropolis, from his insightful reporting.
I later worked with John at Commonwealth Edison, and marveled at his grasp of issues faced by the electric utility that served millions of residents across northern Illinois.
In recent years, I enjoyed perusing his many books, which shed light on little known chapters of Chicago history - from "Chicago´s Motor Row" to the "Great Chicago Beer Riot." And I´ll never forget joining John for a survey of classic Chicago bank buildings that had been repurposed for new uses - for a book that was sadly never completed.
My condolences to his family, former colleagues and his legion of friends. John will certainly be missed!

I remember Mr. Hogan and many of his friends and colleagues from the early days at Bradley Place which I would visit initially as a student from the nearby high school. I didn't realize, until now, that we weren't much different in age.
A gentleman and clear and effective communicator, I recall is voice doing 'stand-up' with location t.v. news reporting. May the family find comfort at this time.
