Gene Maxwell Hoggard

He loved life and lived it to its fullest. He had many hobbies and things he collected, like marbles, pocket watches, pocket knives, and western belt buckles. He loved ballroom and country dancing, and he spent much of his free time dancing or enjoying music. He believed that laughter was the key to a long and happy life, and was always telling jokes spreading smiles

everywhere he went.

He joined the Army Air Corp at a young age, which is where he met his wife, Shirley. They raised three daughters together - Dianna, Sheri and Jeri. He was a veteran of WWII. He worked as a typesetter for newspapers around the country in his younger life and owned his own printing business for many years. He was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as well as a 32nd degree Freemason of the Scottish Rite, and spent countless hours in community service and fundraising.

He is survived by his older sister, Mae Small, and his 3 daughters, Dianna, Sheri, and Jeri. He is also

survived by 17 grandchildren, 48 great-grandchildren, and 4 great-great-grandchildren and dozens of other people he loved like his own.

He will be greatly missed by his family and friends
