David Alan Hogan, 88, of Wilton, passed away peacefully on Sunday, March 10, with his wife Catherine and son John by his side.
A longtime resident of Darien, Al was known for his sense of humor, good heart, and fighting spirit. True to himself until the end, Al dined at his favorite restaurant on the night of his passing and walked under his own power for one final night on the town.
Born Nov. 18, 1935, in Albany, New York, Al was the son of Mary Emma Hogan and Alan D. Hogan. In 1957 he graduated from The College of the Holy Cross with a dual degree in Accounting and Philosophy. Al started his professional career at Arthur Anderson, and he received his CPA the following year, ultimately working his way to the position of administrative president at Prudential Securities.
In 1973 Al hit the real jackpot when he married Catherine, the love of his life. Together they raised a family in Darien for 25 years, and in January of 2023, Al and Kay celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary with family and friends.
In addition to his wife, Al is survived by his sons: Robert Hogan and his wife, Catherine; Timothy Hogan, David Hogan and his wife, Elizabeth; and John Perrella; his daughter, Jennifer Hogan Finnegan and her husband, Christopher. Al is also survived by his niece, Christine Elden, seven grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. He was predeceased by his sister, Mary Anne Hogan Tebaldi.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 11 a.m., Monday, March 18, at St. Aloysius Church, 21 Cherry St, New Canaan. Entombment will follow in Saint Catherine of Sienna Mausoleum, Gate of Heaven Cemetery, 1056 Daniels Farm Road, Trumbull.
