Jack Coogan passed away September 28, 2008 at the age of 79.  He
joins Josephine, his beloved wife of 56 years, following a long
and courageous battle with pulmonary fibrosis.

A lifelong Riverside resident, graduate of the Riverside Poly-
technic High School, class of 1947, and proud veteran of The
United States Navy, Jack lived life to its fullest.  He made many
friends as sales manager of Rubidoux Motors and also during his 52 
year membership to the Riverside BPO Elks.  Jack's real passions, 
however, were motorcycles and flying!  Jack and Josephine enjoyed
touring the country with friends on their motorcycle.  An 
accomplished pilot, he was a member of the prestigious quiet 
Birdman Aviation Club and the Bonanza Society.

Jack is survived by his daughter, Colleen Coogan of Huntington
Beach, CA; brother, Harold Coogan of Dixon, CA; cousins Bob
Dickerson, Dee Dickerson, Pat Harrison, and Francis Anderson of
