Thomas James Hogan III, 96, formerly of Denver, Pa., passed away peacefully on Friday, August 2, 2019, in Laurence Harbor, NJ.
He was the devoted husband of the late Elizabeth G. (Culp) Hogan. Sadly, Elizabeth passed in 2001. Born in New York, N.Y. on May 28, 1923, a son of the late Thomas J. II and Elizabeth (Dreyer) Hogan. He attended McKee Tech on Staten Island, N.Y.

Thomas was always there for his family and he took pride in the life that he and Elizabeth built together and the family they created. He had a sharp mind and had a unique outlook on life.
