William Hogan was my Uncle Bill - a wonderful son and brother who was killed in a tragic, drunk driving accident in 1947 in which the driver, a classmate, walked away unharmed.

I never had the privilege of meeting him as I was born months after his death. He was the light of my grandmothers life and his sisters, Elaine and Carol.

To this day I have items Uncle Bill crafted in woodshop at SPHS. They remain priceless connections to a much loved family member.

RIP, see you on the other side.
