Thomas Edward Hogan, 77, passed away peacefully November 12 after a struggle with vascular dementia. Born March 27, 1942 in Columbia Heights, Minnesota, Tom was the sixth of eight children born to Joseph and Irene Hogan. Tom graduated from Columbia Heights High School in 1960 and went on to earn a Bachelor’s degree in Vocational Education and Master’s in Guidance and Counseling from Stout State University. He married Bonnie Tatro in 1966 and had 3 children. The family moved from Wisconsin to Oregon in 1977, and then to Dhahran, Saudi Arabia where Tom worked in Training & Development for Aramco from 1981 – 1987.
