Perry William Hogan

He was born here in Marion on November 4, 1928, and lived in the Glenwood Community his entire life. He was preceded in death by his father, Caleb P.

Perry retired from Coats America after 37 years of service. He lived a simple country life and very much enjoyed hunting, long walks in the woods with his dogs, vegetable gardening and watching old western T.V. shows. He especially loved taking a bunch of grandkids for a walk to the river. He loved his church, Bethel Baptist, and was there for every service as long as his health permitted. A beloved father, grandfather, great-grandfather and brother; loved and respected by all who knew him. A man of few words, but the way he lived his life spoke volumes.
