Paddy (Pat) Hogan

What a great Man! He was a teacher when I was at DGS. He was instrumental in helping me put together a reunion of DGS classmates in 2004. At the end of which he gave us all DGS ties. I still do some of the physical exercises he taught us. Cheers Paddy!

I only recently heard of Paddy's passing. I have lovely memories of our days together in the Irish Science Teachers Assoc. He made a huge and valued contribution to science education in Ireland.
May he rest in peace.

To all the Hogan family, so sorry to hear of Paddy's passing. He was a absolute gentleman and brought so much to the DGS and to all the students that passed through its doors during his time there. Many he rest in peace.

To the whole Hogan family, my sincere sympathies. I first met Paddy over 40 years ago at the Friary, he recognised my scarf as being a college Science scarf colours, and encourage me to continue with the science career. Anytime thereafter he always had time to chat and ask how I was getting on. I`m still a scientist.
Paddy was a true gentleman, and a great contributor to Dundalk and to education.
Thank you Paddy RIP
Pat

Sincere condolences to the Hogan family. Paddy had a zest for life that was infectious and he spread it throughout the DGS. I was lucky to count him as one of my teachers. He was a wonderfully kind and generous man always willing to help anyone when he could. May he rest in peace.

Sincere condolences ken to you, your mum, brothers and extended family on the death of your Dad. My thoughts are with you all at this difficult and sad time. May your Dad Rest in Peace.

My sincere condolences to the Hogan Family on the very sad passing of Mr. Hogan. As a past pupil of DGS (1978-1984) Mr. Hogan was instrumental in developing my love of Science with his enthusiastic demonstrations of experiments. I have enjoyed over 35 years service in Science. Thank you Mr. Hogan for your direction. May you rest in peace.

Sincere condolences to the Hogan family. I have such fond memories of my time in DGS with Mr Hogan as vice principal. He was a true gentleman. RIP Mr Hogan

My Sincere Condolences to Kenneth & the whole Hogan family. I have very fond memories of Mr Hogan in DGS he always had a smile even when trying to be mad. He was a fair man who had time for everyone and always listened to what you had to say. He will be greatly missed a true Gentleman.

So sorry for Martha, your boys and the Hogan family for your loss of a lovely, irreplaceable man whose extraordinary warmth and intelligence seems to have touched and gathered to him a great many hearts besides ours and those of our girls. Our love to all who will miss Paddy the most.

Our heartfelt condolences to Martha, Darragh, Fergus, Kenneth and the extended Hogan family. Paddy was a gifted Principal, teacher and one of life's true gentlemen. May he rest in peace.

Deepest sympathy to Mrs Hogan and family on the death of Paddy. He gave so much of his time to us students in DGS. Always a pleasure to meet him in our after school years. May he rest in everlasting peace.

I was very saddened to hear of the recent passing of Paddy Hogan. Not only do I recall him as an educator of some note but also a great lover of jazz music. His enthusiasms and good cheer were infectious; clearly he contributed positively to a great many, so I feel very appreciative that our paths crossed.
Fond memories indeed and if I may for a moment: I vividly recall a science demo whereby he deliberately blew of the lid of an old tin using nothing but a candle, a bit of tubing and some custard powder! No one knew what was coming (as he gave nothing away with a calm & smooth delivery) so when the lid hit the ceiling of the lab with a clatter it shocked all students present! I can still recall the cheeky grin and the twinkle in the eye...

Therefore, my sincerest sympathies to his wife Martha at this very difficult time, his sons: Darragh, Fergus & Ken, extended family, grand kids & many working colleagues...
If I may simply say thank you, I hope this suffices.

May Paddy rest in gentle peace in the “land of dreams” and on the “sunny side of the street” as the tunes he enjoyed so dearly remind us...
Ar deise Dé go raibh a anam.

Sincere sympathy to Martha and family on the sad passing of your beloved Paddy. May he have eternal rest and the good Lord comfort you all.

Martha & family, I was so sorry to hear of Paddy's passing. I served with Paddy on St Malachy's BNS Board of Management. He was so generous with his knowledge, experience & advice, a gentleman. Rest in Peace Paddy.

Sincere condolences to MARTHA and
Fergus, Darragh and Ken on the sad passing of your beloved Paddy(Pat).
An outstanding teacher and educationalist in DGS over many years.
May his gentle soul rest in eternal peace.
Ní bheidh a leithéid ann arís!

Deepest sympathy to dear Martha, Fergus, Darragh, Ken , & the Hogan family on the death of the incomparable Paddy, May his gentle soul rest in peace. What a wonderfully talented & caring person he was & in our early days we were thrilled to be at Paddy’s table at the Grammar School annual Debs Ball. Among all his myriad attributes the most important in my eyes in those heady times was that he was a keen ballroom dancer & a magical jiver. The anticipation of my turns round the floor with Paddy were the stuff of dreams & I silently blessed Martha for giving him free rein to do his “duty” dances. May the many happy memories of the great life that Paddy & Martha shared console you all in your grief. Carmel

Our deepest condolences to Martha, Fergus, Darragh and Ken and your family. Paddy was such a lovely man and wonderful friend and neighbour to my mother, he will be greatly missed. Sending love to you at this sad time.

My sincere condolences to Martha, Fergus, Daragh and Kenneth on Paddy's passing. Your Dad was always one for a kind word and took a great interest in his students. I secured my place in DGS as a student in the early 80's thanks to Paddy who went out of his way to meet with my Mum and advocate for me. Something I am very grateful for.
Paddy again helped me when I started teaching there in the 90's. Always making time to check in and offer support to new teachers.
His wise council, kind words and good humour have left a lasting legacy in education.
May his gentle soul Rest in Peace.

I offer my sympathy and prayers to Martha, Fergus, Darragh and Kenneth, on the death of a dear husband and father RIP. After a life well lived, may his noble soul now rest in Heavenly peace.
