Francis X. Hogarty Jr. ’53

Frank, whose father, Francis X., came to Princeton as a University proctor in 1919 and was one of the four civilian-dressed security officers under head proctor Mike Kopliner, died Dec. 17, 2011, in Austin, Texas. He was 80.

Born in Princeton, Frank graduated from the Peddie School and enrolled with us in the fall of 1949. He joined the Catholic Club but left the University during freshman year. He did not keep in touch with the class. It has been learned that he joined the Air Force and was a command pilot for 20 years, retiring as a major.

Efforts to communicate with his widow, Janice, were unsuccessful, but it is known that in addition to her, Frank is survived by daughters Laura Augsburger and Melissa Daywood. Our condolences go to them.
