Geneseo: At age 79, Carl passed away peacefully on Sunday, October 20, 2019 at the Livingston County Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation in Mt. Morris with his family by his side. He was born in Hornellsville, NY to the late John Hogan and Norma Miller. Carl is predeceased by his step father; Arthur Miller and his step mother; Barbara Hogan. Survived by his beloved wife (Bride) of 57 years; Beverly Hogan, his children; Carl Hogan Jr. (Kimberly Millett), Kelly Hogan (Ken Alexander), his grandchildren; Justin (Emily) Dean, Joshua Dean, Ashley Dean, his great granddaughters; Madisyn Gresty, Trinity Dean, his siblings; Fred (Carol) Miller, Jack (Debbie) Hogan, Bill (Melissa) Hogan, Mike Hogan, Dave (Brenda) Hogan, Debbie (Dennis) Slocum, Steve (Cindy) Hogan, and Becky Hogan, along with his many nieces, nephews and cousins. Carl was looking forward to meeting his great grandson, Conor Dean (Jan. 2020).
If you knew Carl you knew he was an Irish farm boy at heart who dedicated his life to his family, his community, and his country. He spent 35 years serving this country with nothing but pride and honor. While serving in the US Army he was also a volunteer fireman for both East Avon and Henrietta, and Scout master while Carl Jr was a boy scout. Nothing mattered more to him than his family and friends, except maybe a cold pint of Guinness. Ask any of his kids or grand-kids and they’d tell you how all of their friends called him their dad/grandpa. He was like Santa Clause for the neighborhood, only much cooler.
