John Robert Hogg

August 6, 1926 - August 5, 2018

John “Robert” Hogg passed from this life on August 5, 2018, with family by his side, in Altus at age 91. Robert was born on August 6, 1926 one half mile west of Lake Creek on the family farm to Leslie Hogg and Luda “Darby” Hogg. Robert lived most of his life in the Lake Creek Community, attending school also at Lake Creek and was the class Valedictorian. He served our country in the United States Navy during WWII on a mine sweeper ship. Robert was a hard working farmer and in the 50’s learned carpentry work. He built many barns and houses in the community including his own in 1969. Dad loved growing cotton and he and Earl Hogg stripped cotton together for many years. He and his family lived on a quarter section and farmed one half mile south of Lake Creek until moving northwest of Lake Creek after building a new house in 1969. Dad was a good farmer, mechanic and repaired lots of things that I “Mike” tore up. He loved attending Church, teaching and Revival Meetings. Robert, his Dad Leslie and son Mike all served as deacons at Lake Creek Baptist Church. Robert also served on the Granite Farmers Co-op Board, the Greer County Excise Board and Rock Cemetery Board. He dearly loved Jessie and would do anything for her. He was proud of John Leslie earning his PHD in chemistry and becoming a renowned chemistry professor at Texas A&M University in College Station Texas. Robert and son Mike farmed together for forty-five years and raised cattle. Dad said more than once the most important decision he ever made was accepting Christ as his Savior. Dad loved everyone he met! Robert is survived by his son Mike Hogg and wife Janet of Granite, daughter in law Janet “Ford” Hogg of Dallas, Texas, brother Dwight Hogg and wife Peggy of Hobart. Robert leaves a legacy of five grandchildren: Amy Ritchie and husband Mark, Jaclyn Bull and husband Kerry, David Hogg and wife Lacee, Krista McCrimon and husband Matt and Ryan Hogg and husband John Baird and nine great-grandchildren.
