To Mrs. Renee, Jack,and Jared,
I am sorry for your lost. Mr.Hoganwas such a nice man. I will always remember him cooking good recipes and having dinner before CCD. He was so kind to me and always making sure that we are okay. He will be missed dearly. And will never be forgotten. He was so important, he helped with boy scouts, Halloween and the summer pool parties. I will always remember that on the other day we had dinner which was my birthday so that was special. You were like a second family to me. I will always miss Mr. Hogan.
With Love, Sabrina Campana

Sarge. The stories you told about camping and cooking were enjoyable and because of you I have taken Reilly camping in the backwoods. Your devotion not only to your family and friends but to the Boy Scouts and NJDOC was never overlooked by me. You were a great supervisor and a person who would extend a hand if needed. Rest in peace and look over us from above.

Always know that he is with you wherever you go. Mr. Hogan, the man with the wonderful personality, will be dearly missed.

John text me Friday night asking me to call him and we usually don't talk much outside of work. I was busy with every day life and trying to rush out the door but I stopped to call him. We had a very positive phone call. John's a great father always trying to do the right thing! He'll be missed.
Eileen Thorn
October 23, 2012
As Justin said, you "were like an uncle or a second dad to me" as well as to so many of Jack and Jared's friends. You will always be remembered for your dry but hilarious sense of humor. For your willingness to do anything for those you cared about. For your homemade cooking and your happiness to feed anyone in the boyscout community on so many camping trips. For being able to fix just about anything, and when you couldn't fix it.... recycling it into something the boys and their friends could enjoy (example...turning a washing machine drum into fire pit so the boys and their friends could dance around it a -la "Lord of the Flies"!!!). But you will mostly be remembered for being an amazing husband and outstanding father. Rest in peace John knowing that your family and friends will always take care of the three people that mattered the most to you.
Love and friendship always, Eileen, Chris, Justin and Marissa Thorn
