Tony Hogan was a rare individual, a man’s man who was respected by all who knew him. He had a ready sense of humor and did not suffer fools gladly. He was well read and enjoyed a beer with his many golf pals. He will be missed. May God hold him in His hands.
Tony was a great friend! We played golf regularly at Dove Canyon. We especially enjoyed sharing stories and comments about the aerospace industry (having mutual friends and experiences in the industry). We miss him in our foursomes and talk about our good times with him on a daily basis. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family. He was a positive influence on all he met.
Tony was a true friend and I will miss him.

I liked Tony so much. We enjoyed golf together and we were both Air Force members. I miss him so much.
Played many quality hours of golf with Tony and am missing him greatly. His name comes up every time we play. He was a real gentleman.
He was a really good guy when we were close friends in High School. He lived the kind of productive life that makes me so proud to have known him.
I remember Tony well, running track for Miami Edison High School.

My condolences to the Hogan family. Tony and I served together as young Air Force officers at Minot AFB, North Dakota in the mid ’60s where he was sometimes kidded, having the same last name as Brigadier General H.L. Hogan, our 810th Division Commander. Sincerely, Bill Miller, formerly of the 455th (now 91st) Strategic Missile Wing

my wing commander at Minot. Great motivator and leader. He gave my career a jump start
My condolences to the family.
My sincere condolences. Tony was a great man who showed a lot of respect for others. I served with him at Grand Forks Air Force Base, ND. He has a great sense of humor and was one of the best officers I ever worked with.
Tony and I were lieutenants assigned to the 455th (now 91st) Missile Wing at Miinot AFB, North Dakota during my time there 1963-67. He had a great sense of humor and was even kidded by Brigadier General Lee Hogan, division commander, about being "another Hogan" at Minot. I was glad to see that Tony eventually commander the MAFB missile wing. My sincere condolences to all of his family.
We remember Colonel Hogan from Minot AFB, ND. He was a special person and we will miss him forever! Rest In Peace, sir.

Sorry to hear Col Hogan has died. He was so nice to me when I was a new young naive female 2LT. He took me under his wing and looked out for me. Another officer and I were his favorites to escort him out to the missile sites. I remember one time we were standing on the site and the sun was going down. The sky was bright orange red. He looked at me and said: I think the base has been hit by a bomb. He had me going for awhile until he started laughing. I was so gullible. He later told me he would tell that story to dignitaries when they visited the base. I never had any problems with him as my commander which I can't say about other officers. He was just a kind man and a great leader. Sorry my condolences are late.
