He was a lifelong member, and served on the Board of Directors, of the Olympic Club. His dedication to the community and the City of San Francisco were demonstrated by his years of service on the Board of Directors of the Seton Medical Center, and the Board of Boys Hope Girls Hope. He also contributed to positive change in Pacifica by the countless hours he spent on improving the Vallemar Elementary School facilities, in coaching youth basketball and soccer teams, and in serving as the Director of the CYO Girls Basketball Program. He is survived by his children: Patrick Burke Hogan, a graduate of Saint Ignatius College Preparatory (Class of '99), University of California, Berkeley (Class of '04), University of Southern California Law School (Class of '08); and his daughter, AnneMarie Gorman Hogan, a graduate of Saint Ignatius College Preparatory (Class of '03), University of California Santa Cruz (Class of '07). He also leaves his siblings and their spouses: his brother and sister-in-law, William Hogan and Jean MacCurdy of San Francisco; and his sisters and brothers-in-law Patricia and Wallace Brann, and Mary Jo and Jack Follet, of Medford, Oregon. A Memorial Service will be held on Friday, December 12, 2008 at 1:30 pm at Saint Ignatius Church, 650 Parker Ave, SF, CA, with a reception to follow at the Olympic Club Lakeside.

Dear Anne Marie and Patrick,
The news of your father's death stunned me. He was always so strong and hearty, absolutely unafraid of work, whether physical or intellectual. He struck me as calm in any situation, decided, fair, and positive. You could not have had a better role model. The sad news comes up in my mind ever since I learned about it. He bore the tragedy of your mother's untimely death stoically, and his excellent care of you was a testament of his love and honor for her.You and he are being remembered in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Hogan Family:

Paul Hogan was the first "new friend" to me when I entered S.I. as a sophomore. I cherish the memory.

Patrick and Anne, I am so sorry to hear of your fathers passing. He was always very kind and fair to me during my years we worked together at FNB. Even after I left the company and moved to Fresno, he would call and check to see how I was doing. My thoughts and prayers are with you both.

Pat, we are very sad about the passing of your father. We always remember how much he loved and supported you and enjoyed many hours at SI crew events talking with him. We always will remember our special dinner at the Olympic Club as well. We love and support you and know you are always welcome in our home on the East Coast.

Dear Anne Marie and Patrick:

Meeting and knowing your father has left indelible memories with me - the importance of family, how to coach girls without yelling, volunteering as an everyday part of life and always, always put your car visor down as you go up the Edgemar freeway out of Pacifica.

Your Dad was one of the kindest men I have ever met and I will remember him always.

Dear Anne Marie and Patrick, I had the good fortune to know your father while serving with him for 3 years on the Board of Directors at the Olympic Club. For those 3 years, we met twice a month for Board meetings and dinner, attended numerous club events and 3 Board retreats in both Hawaii and Arizona. After our Board service, we would meet annually for lunch or dinner to catch up and share stories. Paul loved to give warm toasts and was always so animated when he spoke about both of you and your progress and success in school. I know that I speak for all who had the pleasure of knowing your father, he was a warm hearted wonderful man, and we will all miss him.

Dear Anne Marie and Patrick, I am very sorry to hear of your Dad's death. It has been my privilege to know your father and to sit beside him each month at the Finance Committee and the Board at Seton Medical Center. He was always prepared and conscientious about his responsibilities. Your Dad was especially proud of both of you and spoke of you often. I regret that I am unable to attend his Memorial Service but please know that you are in my thought and prayer.

Anne Marie & Patrick, How sad I was to read your dad's obituary. I do remember how excited he was when both of you were able to carry on his legacy at SI. And, how delightful to see how successful you both have become. I hope the memories of your Dad will help ease the pain at this time.

Anne Marie and Patrick,

We are very saddened to hear about your father's passing. He was an asset to our community and was very proud of you both.

One of my favorite stories I will forever cherish is from an end of season t-ball party at Oddstad school field. Your dad came with printed recipe to share for his potato salad that involved selecting the appropriate size container, take it out to the car, drive to Linda Mar and have the deli fill it with ready made potato salad. Priceless!
