Paul Hogan Obituary
Paul Lee Hogan, 79, of Rudolph, died Thursday, October 4, 2012 at his residence with his caring family at his side.
Paul was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on April 16, 1933 to Thomas and Marguerite (Hoy) Hogan. He married Norma Hetzel on June 23, 1951 at St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Wisconsin Rapids.
He served his country in the United States Army from 1954 to 1956.
Paul was employed by Nekoosa Edwards Paper Co. as a machine tender until his retirement.
Paul was a loving husband, father and grandfather who was always there for his family when they needed him. Farming was a joy for him, as he loved to drive the tractors, especially during hay season. In his spare time he enjoyed going to auctions, hunting, fishing, and coon hunting with his favorite red blood hounds. Paul had a passion for collecting chime clocks. He and Norma also enjoyed their trips to the casino.

He was preceded in death by his parents, brother, James Hogan, son, Alvin Hogan, and grandson, Tim Dorn.
Services will be at 11:00 a.m. on Monday, October 8th at Herman-Taylor Funeral Home and Cremation Center, 2201 Chestnut Street, Wisconsin Rapids. Rev. Dr. Timothy Roser will officiate. Burial will be in St. John Lutheran Cemetery in the town of Rudolph with military rites by American Legion Post 485.

Thank You for the outpouring of kindness that has been shown to the family of Paul Hogan during this difficult time. Learning to live without someone who has been your whole world is very difficult. We had been married over 61 1/2 years and yes the whole time to each other-who does that people have asked me? People who love and are devoted to each other, no matter if it was in a baby delivery room, principals office, hay field or hospital bed. Thank You for everyone who brought food, sent thoughts and prayers, sent cards and gifts, flowers too. Thank You for every act of kindness from the family of Paul Lee Hogan

Thinking of you during this difficult time. I grew up just across the road from Paul, and have many fond memories of him. He's been a wonderful neighbor to our family, always willing to lend a hand.

Dear Andy & Beloved Family - I am so sorry for the loss of this loving family member. I know that he meant a lot to so many and will be missed by all who was lucky enough to touch their lives. It's so sad to see someone leave this world only as we would rather have them here to be with us. But sometimes, for whatever reason, someone stronger than our will wants them to watch over us until we can once again unite in which we will all be together. My prayers are with you and your family and just know that he will always be here in spirit and in your heart.

I'm very sorry for your loss. I didn't know Paul, only from watching him cut hay in the field across from our home every summer. One day last year it was particulary hot and Paul was waiting in his tractor, watching a grandson working in the field. I walked across the street to take him a cold bottle of water because of the stifling heat. He said he didn't need it as he had his own jug of cold water in the tractor with him....later on that evening there was a knock at our door, and there stood Paul on the dark porch with a dozen of fresh eggs for me, smiling and blue eyes sparkling. He said he just wanted to thank me for my kindness. Warmed my heart. What a kind, sweet, and dear man. My sincere sympathy to your family.
