Dear Hogan Family,
I cannot express how saddened I was to hear from my sister Debbie about Pete's unexpected passing. Many memories of Pete and the Hogan family came flooding back.
Our childhood days in Sodus Point were so full of fun times whether we we were at the community center, roller skating at Krenzner's rink, skating on the bay, swimming off the pier, attending the dances at the beach, and later partying at the Dolphin. My best time spent with Pete was when we went to Watkins Glen to watch the races with my sister Debbie. Though we got soaked in the rain and muddy field, we still laughed the whole time. I so enjoyed my friendship with Pete who was like a big brother to me as well as to Laurie and the younger girls. I wish I had seen more of him in our adulthood.
My sincere condolences at this difficult time. I hope your memories of Pete will be a comfort to you and ease the burden of your saddened hearts in the days ahead.
Much Love to you all.
Gail Becker Nelli
