James leaves behind a legacy of love and cherished memories. He is survived by his devoted brother, Paul, and sister-in-law, Mary Jo; his loving sisters, Cheryll Hogan and Patricia Cavanaugh; and a host of adoring nieces and nephews who looked up to their uncle with great admiration. James was predeceased by his brother Arthur, and sisters Jeanette Daley and Loraley Griffin, who have welcomed him with open arms in eternal rest.

James M. Hogan's life was a testament to the enduring power of love, family, and the pursuit of happiness. His memory will continue to inspire those who were fortunate enough to know him, and his spirit will live on in the hearts of his family and friends forever.
