James F. Hogan

Jim went to be with the Lord on December 13, 2011. He was born in Minneapolis, MN on September 27, 1926 to Thomas and Marguerite Hogan. Jim served his country during WWII as a paratrooper. He attended St. Paul Bible College in Minnesota, where he met Dolores (Dolly) Hula and were married February 25, 1950. He moved his family to Colorado Springs in 1963, as a custom homebuilder.

Raising and showing German Shepherds was a favorite pastime, as well as fishing, hunting and spending time with family. Jim loved Jesus and studied his Bible faithfully serving his Lord as a Sunday school teacher, elder, leader in boys’ brigade and choir member (he was Dolly’s favorite tenor).

Jim leaves behind his beloved wife, Dolly, and three children: Tom (Jennifer), Connie (Lynn) VanDyke, and Randy (Jan). He also leaves 6 grandchildren: Brad, Shad, Jenny, Cassie, Hannah, Maria; and seven great grandchildren: Parker, Camy, Ravyn, Sage, Bella, Josh and Scott. He has three siblings who also survive: Millie, Ruth (Bill), and Paul (Norma). Daughter-in-law, Kathy Hogan, preceded him in death.

A celebration of his life will be held at Grace Presbyterian Church, 2511 N. Logan Avenue, Colorado Springs, Colorado on Saturday, December 17th, 2011 at 3:00 p.m.. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to the church or Pikes Peak Hospice.
