Paul Martin Hogan

Paul Martin Hogan came into this world July, 18 1951 as a twin to his sister Paula Hogan. One of six children born to Catherine and John; middle child to his other siblings, Michael, Christine, Mark and Danny. As a young man, growing up in Providence, Rhode Island, he excelled at wrestling and was often found causing mischief.

Paul loved to do many things; cutting hair, goofing around, cooking for his family, though his proudest achievement was serving his country in the United States Navy. He enlisted in his hometown on November 13, 1969 and was honorably discharged June 27, 1972 for his admirable service during the war in Vietnam.

He and Noreen Torok had two daughters and one son whom he adored; Barbara, Shannon and Patrick. All through his life, Paul was very free spirited; jovial and generous to everyone he met. As a father, he was always quick to pull a prank or have an adventure.

Paul loved to dance at all hours of the day and night, frequently blaring his favorite songs from The Beatles, The Beach Boys and Rod Stewart; just ask the neighbors. A lifelong sports fan, his loyalties lain mostly with Bean Town (Boston) and Denver, Colorado; Paul was always ready to enjoy a game with his children.

He is survived by three siblings, his children and four grandchildren; Gavin, Tristan, Kalyn and Dominic.
