Seeing Mike's picture and notice of passing brought much sadness, yet many fond memories of attending Sts. Mary and Joseph grade school.
I can still see Mike sitting in front of the class cracking jokes and laughing, and then slowly turning around  to gage  the reaction of the class. Everyone loved Mike! Even as a boy he had the Irish gift of gab: he was funny, friendly, and kind to everyone.
Many years later I saw Mike and his wife Patti at a parish reunion at Sts. Mary and Joseph church. He was the same Mike of old-charming, funny, and so very Irish. Just a lovely human being.
God bless you, Mike. And may God bless and comfort your beautiful family.

Mike was a man who was generous with his time, kindness, and humor. A true good soul. My thoughts and prayers go out to Patti,  the girls, and the Hogan family

I just wanted to take a moment to share how much Mike meant to me and my family. He was truly an awesome person—always wearing a bright smile and radiating warmth wherever he went. Mike cherished and loved his family deeply, and I feel incredibly proud to be related to him. Over the years, his kindness made me feel so loved.  My parents adored Mike as well and always spoke highly of him, which is a testament to the wonderful impact he had on all of us.

His spirit and generosity will always be remembered. Thank you, Mike, for making our lives better.

Mike was always a friend to my family. He and I just golf last year in the Spanish Society Tour. and he had me laughing  all day long.
Guys like you are far and few between. You will be missed Mike.

From all the "Hillsboro Hogans", we offer our condolences and deepest sympathies to Patti and his children, grandchildren, all his brothers and sisters and all those mourning his death. Mike will always be remembered as being a happy guy with a smile on his face, always brightening the day. He will be missed!

We are so very sorry to hear of Mike's passing. Many heart felt prayers for Mike and all his family and friends. The light of the Spirit shown thru Mike like a beacon in the night for sure. Always a friend eager and willing to help with a smile, passing his light to all he met, what a joy to be around! May we all have the  comfort and security of knowing  Mike is in heaven with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Mike was one of the funniest people I've ever met and I've of my biggest role models.  I'll see you in heaven.

Mike  you will be truly missed.  You are one of the good guys that God puts on this earth.  We have been friends for 72 years and regardless of the miles that were between us we always stayed in touch.  I love you like my brother.  We spent many great times together from soccer matches to baseball games and much more.  From the time working together at Hauser's bakery to serving together at the convent giving us memories we will never forget or lose.  We always knew we were welcomed at the dinner table of either our parents  with no questions asked.
Deb and I were in Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris the day Mike joined his parents and siblings.  It felt like Mike guided us there on that day so we could say a special prayer for him and his family.
Patti, you were the light of Mike's eye and you kept him laughing, enjoying life and sharing many wonderful years together.  You are a special woman and remember I will always be here for you and the girls.

Mike, We love You  like a brother.You were always so nice to everyone. When we walked into the Spanish Society Club you would greet us with a warm how you doing fellas? Then you would sit down by us and have a conversation, say something funny and get a chuckle out of us. We are going to miss you, think about you, remember you, never forget you. Mike, a great guy. Your friends Steve O., Dan O., Dan A., Dino, Mike A. - The Jefferson County Boys.

So truly sorry to hear about Mike passing. I will always have great memories growing up together at Saint Mary and Joseph. My deepest condolences to the family but be assured he is in heaven.

Mike is a St. Mary’s High School Alumnus - Class of 1967.  On behalf of his classmates, I extend our most heartfelt sympathy to his family and friends. 

Also know that we share in your sorrow and grieve for your loss.  Special mention and offerings of condolences to Mike’s classmates and to those students, who at one time or another, were either upper classmates or under classmates of his, and who may have known him personally or “of him” as someone they passed in the hallways, shared a table with at lunchtime or maybe even participated in some of the same extra-curricular activities that Mike did from the time he enrolled as a Freshman in September of 1963 until the time he graduated as a Senior in June of  1967.  

Although Mike is gone from this life, his spirit has been and always will be on the Campus of St. Mary’s and where, on his very first day of class he was bestowed the eternal honor of becoming a "Son of Mary."  And just as it has been since ever since then, daily prayers will continue to be said, and daily masses will continue to be offered for him by the Brothers of Mary.

May the sorrow your family is feeling gently give way to the quiet comfort of recalling the memories that you shared together.  We’re certain that in time, those memories will bring you happiness far greater than the sorrow you feel today.

Finally, know for sure, that whenever the Dragons of ’67 gather and talk turns to the days of ole lang syne, Mike will always be remembered.  We promise.
