Daniel Hogan

Jr.

Daniel Hogan Jr was born on August 26, 1941 to Daniel Hogan Sr. and Earlene Bell Hogan in Queens, NY. He graduated from Boys High School in Brooklyn, New York, and eventually moved to Manhattan, where he was a resident for many years.

In 1958, Danny joined his father, brothers and uncle on the docks in New York City, at the International Longshoreman Association (ILA) as a Longshoreman. They worked together for many years, and were known as the Hogan Gang. Danny also worked as a Merchant Seaman and traveled to various countries including Asia, and Africa.

When the ILA moved from the docks of New York City to the docks of Elizabeth, New Jersey, Danny also followed. He eventually started training others on various pieces of equipment. He was especially cherished for his kind words and wisdom, and he always shared words of inspiration and encouragement with his coworkers. At the annual Christmas party, he was the sharpest dresser and the best dancer on the dance floor, even at 70+ years of age. Danny was loved and truly respected by his coworkers. After 50 years of service, Danny retired from the ILA, but remained a devoted Union Chaplin.

In 1984, Danny saw the vision of Pastor Bernard, and his wife Pastor Karen Bernard, and joined Christian Life Center, which later became Christian Cultural Center, (CCC), and gave his life to the Lord. He was a dedicated servant of the Ministry of Helps and passionately helped others. In fact, his help extended beyond the doors of the church, and he was always willing to lend a hand or give to anyone who was in need.

In 1997, he joined and was an integral member of the International Christian Brotherhood (ICB). As a devoted member of CCC, Danny was a light for others, and brought many people into the church. For 38 years, Danny devoted his life to loving and talking about the goodness of Jesus Christ, and being a part of CCC and ICB. He remained an active member and loved serving and being part of the Christian Cultural Center family.

Danny was also an avid entrepreneur and started several business ventures. He was especially known for Hogan Limousine. As a driver, he drove people anywhere they needed to go. He was able to speak with and talk to anybody; whether you were a business man, CEO of a well-established company, or an ordinary everyday person, Danny was able to converse with and carry on a conversation effortlessly sharing and giving of himself and his spirit.

Danny was also passionate about Track. While in high school, he ran for PAL 103, in Jamaica, Queens, and Boys High School.  He found joy in sharing stories about how his team was one of the top teams in New York City. He loved to tell the story about his relay team losing by a step, and, his coach switching Danny from anchor to lead off runner, and with Danny in the lead off position his team was unstoppable and uncatchable. Danny loved Track and he loved telling his track stories just as much.
