George Hogan

April 26, 1941 – July 22, 2021

Long time Lakin, Kansas, resident, George Hogan, died peacefully at his home July 22, 2021. At the time of his death, he was surrounded by his wife, his four children, eight grandchildren, and eight great grandchildren.

George and his wife, Judy, ran a dog boarding business south of Lakin, called Toyland Kennels, for many years. George cherished the relationships he developed with his customers and missed them after his retirement.
