Frank Hoagland ’49

Frank Hoagland died Oct. 22, 2010, at Virtua Hospital in Voorhees, N.J., at the age of 82.

Hoagy was born in Bridgeton, N.J., and spent the greater part of his life there. At Bridgeton High School he played varsity tennis and basketball. At Princeton he enjoyed studying English and American literature and majored in philosophy. Illness forced him to withdraw after three years and he was plagued by poor health for the remainder of his life. His consolations included following the errant fortunes of the Philadelphia Phillies, reading good books, and attending the First Presbyterian Church of Bridgeton.

Hoagy never married and is survived only by two first cousins, Jonathan E. Wood and Donald R. Hoagland, as well as by friends and relatives. Members of the class express their sorrow at the close of this unfulfilled life, as well as the wish that Hoagy was comforted by the small pleasures available to him.
