George E. Hogle

George E. (Geo) Hogle left this life to continue his journey on January 25, 2023.  He was aided on his journey by Hospice of the Western Reserve following a diagnosis of abdominal sarcoma in November of last year.

He was born January 23, 1938 in Conneaut, Ohio, the son of Neal and Friedaline (Hanni) Hogle.

George attended Rowe school for all 12 years, graduating in 1956. He participated in band, choir, baseball, and basketball. He was also active in 4-H with the “Cloverleaf Kids.”

He married Dorothy “Dot” (Rolland) on October 5, 1957, celebrating 65 years together.

After graduation, he worked various jobs before starting full time farming with his brother Richard. Together, and later with his son, David, they built and operated Kon Yat registered Holsteins - an outstanding herd that was dispersed in 2005- they then began a hay and grain operation.

George served as a delegate to Milk Marketing, Inc; a board member of Western Reserve co op for several years, a member of Ohio and National Holstein Associations; a member of New Leaf United Methodist Church; and served as trustee for the Station 3 Fire Department.

He is survived by his wife, Dorothy; his children David (Cheryl) Hogle and their son, Shane; JoAnn Hogle (Jason Brammer and Connor); Beth (Sal) Jafarace and their children Joey, Jillian (Zac) Freeman and their daughter Cora Grace, and his sister Shirley (Mathew) Forman.

He was preceded in death by his parents, his brother, Richard Hogle, and an infant daughter.

There will be no funeral or calling hours, rather, spend time with an old friend reminiscing and telling stories.

A celebration of his life will be held at a future date.

In his memory, donations may be made to Hospice of the Western Reserve or an organization of one’s choice.

Marcy Funeral Home, 208 Liberty St., Conneaut, Oh 44030 is honored to be entrusted with arrangements.
