Jen, Abby and Chris - I have known, and loved, Jimmy for many years. Though we did not speak often, when we did the conversation seemed just like a continuation of the last one. He was a good man, a fine officer and a wonderful friend. Take what comfort you can from knowing that you were all loved and that he often expressed his appreciation of the love you gave to him.

Susie Mowry

You were a good friend to cliff and I as well. Jesus knows when and how. We need to rejoice. That he is sick free. And having fun.

Great Uncle Jimmy was an angel on Earth and now he is our angel in heaven. I love you, Uncle Jimmy!

Jennifer, Chris and Abbey I am so sorry for your loss. I have great memories of Jimmy. If it wasn't stripper fishing with Chris and Jimmy it was Jimmy having great passion and patience while teaching to ride a Harley. I'll miss those Sunday lunches on the Harley rides, the fishing trips or talking of my Grandfather Gwaltney and the police stories I will truly miss you and patience and humor.

Jennifer, Abigail and Chris,

Jimmy was always someone you could count on and get the job done. He was a cops, cop and ready to do what was needed. He has touched many lives and will live on in those lucky to have known him and worked with him. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

We will miss you uncle Jimmy

My Sincere Condolences and deepest sympathy to the Hogan family. I had the pleasure of knowing and working with Jimmy at the NNPD when we were young officers in the 70's. Although I haven't seen him in over 35 years I often thought of him .RIP brother officer.

Im so sorry for your loss.

Jennifer, so sorry to hear the news of Jimmy 's passing. You are in my thoughts and prayers during this time. May God be your strength.

Jennifer & Family - Our prayers are with you during this difficult time. Jimmy was a fun guy & always had that smile. Our families grew up & attended school together since grammar school days. We loved listening to him share childhood stories at our 40th NNHS Class of 67 reunion - Much laughter & great memories. We pray for God's comfort in the days ahead.

Jennifer, I was so sorry to learn of your loss. I pray that God will wrap His loving arms around you and hold you closely during this difficult time.

I am saddened to hear of Jimmy's passing. Our paths didn't cross much after high school but at every opportunity, I would love to tell the stories of how great Jimmy was at quarterback. We played JV and Varsity together. Tight spirals every time and every time on target.

To the Hogan family, you have my deepest sympathy and I pray that God will touch each of you and guide you through this most difficult time.

Dear Hogan Family,

I was deeply saddened to learn of Jimmy's passing. Jimmy was a friend and teammate when we were in high school. He was a gifted athlete, but an even better person -- someone you always enjoyed being around. Some of my fondest memories are of time spent with him, his brother Ben, and their brothers and sisters. Although we lost touch over the years, often when I came back home I would hear good things about him and the work he was doing as a Newport News Police Officer. I know he will be sorely missed by his family and friends, but I hope you will take comfort in all the good he did for others through his kindness, his wonderful sense of humor, and his public service.

Jerry Fisher

Jennifer, you and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Jennifer,
I will be thinking about you during this time. I look back at some of the times I had with Jimmy at the PD and it puts a smile on my face. He was one funny guy!

My deepest sympathies to the Hogan family. I worked under Jimmy when I was an auxillary officer and again as a rookie. He was always there to help and as a friend. He will always be missed.

Jennifer , I was so saddened to hear of your loss. My prayers go out to you and your family.

To Jennifer and Family, My heart felt condolence to all of you during this time. Matthew 5:4 “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. (NIV)

For many years Jimmy was my friend and my Sergeant for numerous years. It was an honor and privilege to serve with him at NNPD. As others have said, Jimmy always had great stories to tell and make you laugh. He was very down to earth and was always there when you needed him. Jimmy was Unique and One of a Kind. Many memories of Jimmy will live on with us all in the way he touched each of our lives. Thank you Jimmy for being there when I needed you and you made sure I went home at the end of a shift.

He served Newport News well and tirelessly helped me on numerous occasions. I want to extend my deepest sympathy to his family and remind all we will see him again.

Jennifer, Chris, and Abby,
Jimmy will be missed so much. He was a kind, fun guy who loved his family and everyone loved him. Heaven has another angel to watch over us.

Sgt Hogan Was The Best. He Saved ME On The Street And Took Care Of Me When I Worked For Him . Always Find A Way To Make You Laugh When Things Weren't So Good. He Taught Me Alot About Police Work And About Life. Jennifer, Chris And Abigal Know His Memory WIll Always Be With Me A Kind Generous Human Being. Love Ya Sarge Rest IN peace

My thoughts & prayers are with you during this very difficult time.

To the Hogan Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Jennifer, Abigail, and Chris,
It's obvious that everyone who knew Jimmy recognized the qualities we all loved so much in him. No one was quicker with a smile or a good story. I have many happy memories growing up with my uncles, and words really can't describe what his love and warmth meant to me as a little girl. We will all miss him so much. Teri

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

Just heard of Jimmy's passing. My sympathy and prayers to the family. Rest in Peace, as I know you will, for, "Blessed are the Peacekeepers". As Christ said to the second thief, "Tonight, you will be with Me, in Paradise"

To the family of Jimmy Hogan, we wish to extend wishes of deepest sympathy. We were co-workers of Jimmy at NNPD in the seventies and always thought highly of him. May your memories help you through this difficult time. Linda and Danny Criswell,

Jennifer, Abby and Chris I am so sorry to hear of Jimmy's passing. The first time I met Jimmy was when he became a part of the police family. He was assigned to me and the Capt. instructed "look out for him, he isn't old enough to buy bullets for his weapon yet." We laughed about that for many years as we worked together. He was a great man and officer. He was well respected by all and accomplished many things for the benefit of the citizens of Newport News. I loved working with Jimmy for many years and loved playing golf with him to. I know he will be missed by all who knew him. May God comfort the family and give you peace during this difficult time.

Dear Hogan Family,
My deepest sympathy upon the passing of Jimmy.May God comfort you now and always.
Jimmy was definitely one of the good guys and I know he will be missed.

Jimmy is an enduring spirit who's smile, grace, and good heart will echo through eternity. He was a special person with keen sensitivity, intelligence, and sound values. I am honored to have known him. My heartfelt sympathy and condolences to Jennifer and all his loved ones.

Jimmy's family I also greive your loss.
Once in Poly Leauge they tried to intentialy walk Jimmy. As the 4th ball came high and outside Jimmy reached over the plate and it to the right field wall for a home run to win the game. The drive he had that day stayed with him the rest of his life. P.I.P. Thin blue line.

Jennifer, abby and Chris you meant the world to Jimmy.Our last visit together he let me know how much the care and love of his family kept him going thru his years of failing health and amazing spirt . i will never stop missing him and loving him. My father promised my sister a baby boy for her seventh birthday and jimmy was that birthday present that we all loved and shared.i love you joyce hogan

Jennifer and family,

I'm so sorry to hear of Jimmy's passing. It was wonderful working with him and my thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Jennifer, Chris & Abby, Wayne and I grew up wIth Jimmy and both of played football with him. Those were the good old days and some of our fondest memories. Jimmy always had a smile for us and we will treasure his friendship and memory always. Rest in peace fellow Typhoon. You will be missed by so many.

Dear Jennifer and Abigail, James and family,
I want to let you know how much I loved Jimmy. He played football for me in l961 at Parkview. He was so lovely to coach and so appreciative. He was a go getter on the football field. He later went to NNHS an was an outstanding quarterback. He threw 9 touchdown passes against Warwick High School in 1966. He never bragged about it, he just went along as a sweet, wonderful, nice person. Each time I saw him, he was so full of love & appreciation for me coaching him as a kid. I met his family and they came to my house to tell me how much they appreciated my coaching him as a kid. I will miss him and his love & appreciation as he always conveyed to me. I know he is in Heaven. With all my love, Mickey and Carol Marcella

To the entire Hogan family we were very sad to hear of Jimmy's passing. Jimmy was always so kind to our family and we loved him dearly. I can just see that smile that would light up a room. Wonderful man and friend. On behalf of the Lucado family, we send our condolences and prayers to Jennifer and every member of the Hogan family. Donna Lucado Dudley

I was deeply saddened when I learned of Jimmy's passing. My deepest sympathy goes out to the Hogan Family in their time of sorrow. I had the pleasure of working with Jimmy on many cases when he served on the Newport News Police Department at which time I practiced with the Newport News City Attorney's Office. Jimmy was one of the finest police officers I have ever known, and he was a gentleman in every respect. May he rest in peace.

Jennifer and Abby, We are so sorry for your loss, we thought the world of Jimmy. He was always so good to Amber. He always had something good to say to her. He was always on our mind.

To the Hogan family, I am sorry to hear about Jimmy. I remember him from NNHS, but never met him personally. He played football & graduated with my brother Tommy. I met Chris when my nephew & his wife lived next to him. I wish you all comfort during this difficult time.

We send our deepest sympathy to you and your family!

The first time I met Mr. Hogan was at Abby's 20th birthday party. Having the opportunity to be seated right next to him I got to learn a lot of great things about him and the things he did. One was that he was a avid History enthusiast who knew his history more than most do as well as he liked to play golf and ride his Harley-Davidson. And if I recall he loved his coffee. One thing he did tell me was that he loved his Abby! It was a great honor to be able to meet Mr.Hogan the couple of times that I did. And I will carry that moment we had for the rest of my life. But most importantly I was privileged to meet my Best Friends Dad!

Jim played QB for me at NNHS.
Heartfelt sympathy to the family.
Sincerely, Coach Harlan Hott, Moorefield

Jimmy always had a smile on his face whenever I saw him. What a wonderful life he had. My sympathy to his family. He will be sorely missed. God bless you all.

To Jennifer and the Hogan family, My thoughts and prayers are with you. Please know the love and respect he had with his many friends and coworkers will be there to help comfort you throughout this journey. RIP Jimmy.

To Jimmy's family, please accept my sincerest condolences. Jimmy was a great friend at NNHS. We shared may wonderful days and I have great memories of his great smile and sense of humor. He was such a great athlete and role model. I am not surprised to read all the ways he touched people throughout his life. It is always a shock to lose a classmate this early in life, but especially one as special as Jimmy. I see him now in heaven entertaining our Lord!

Jennifer, LD and I are sorry to hear of your loss. I know this is really hard for you and the children. Our prayers and thoughts are with you now and in the days and weeks to come. Betty

Jennifer,Abigail,and Chris,
I was so sorry to hear of your loss.
I thought Jimmy was a fantastic person with a terrific sense of humor.
We had the opportunity to work together at Pomoco of Smithfield. He always had a story to tell and would keep you laughing with his wit and mischievous smile.
I will always remember how he would light up when he talked about his family. Nobody could have been more prouder.He will truly be missed and never forgotten.

To the entire Hogan family, I send my deepest, and most heartfelt, sympathy in your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you all as you go through some difficult days ahead....but be comforted in the many great memories that each of you will have to forever cherish.

My Dad took me to see him play football when he was QB at Newport News High School. He was one of the best QB's in the country and some of his records still stand. Rest in peace. Condolences to his family.

Prayers are sent to the family and friends of Jimmy. We went to Briarfield School in the early 1960s and I worked a short while in the NN Police Dept. Behind the school we had a baseball field and we were like 12 or 13 years old and on Facebook just 3 days ago we were talking about great players and Jimmy was one of them. it was also noted how nice and polite that Jimmy and Ben were. That statement follows you all through your life. So I just wanted to say that you really had a son and friend to be proud of and I just wanted to let you know even after all these years that I remembered.

So sorry to hear of your family's loss. I only met Jimmy a couple of times but Chris and I were good friends for awhile. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Chris, you are on my mind and I am wishing you peace and comfort.

Rest In Peace Jimmy.

Jimmy Hogan's Family: He was a '67 NNHS classmate and I haven't seen him since, but reading all of these entries I am sure he has left a legacy that you all are proud of! GOD bless each of you and may He grant you comfort that can 'only' come from Him! Good Friend, 'Ronnie' Ron Timberlake, Nashville,Tn.

Jennifer, Chris, and Abigail,
I am so sorry to hear that one of NNPD's finest has left us behind. I will always remember his laugh and smile everytime I spoke with Jimmy. May God bless and keep you during this difficult time. I am so glad that I got to see Jimmy at the retired police dinner in March and I will cherish our conversation forever. You will always live in our hearts and prayers. Cheryl & Tom Penny

Jennifer, Abigail, and Chris,

I love you all so much! I feel so lucky to have been Jimmy's niece and can't help but think back to all of fishing trips with him when I was a little girl and swimming with the jellyfish near the Idle Fleet. Every moment with Jimmy was filled with adventure and laughter. His smile lit up the room, and you could always find everyone gathered around him to hear his stories! You were each so special to him and he was ever proud of his amazing wife and children. We are lifting you up in our prayers and sending you all of our love. If you need anything, please let us know.

Love, Carrie (Jacob, & Lorelei Blue)
