Carleton J. Hogue's Obituary
Carleton J. Hogue, 83, of Davenport, FL, passed away on Sunday, February 19, 2017 at Mike Conley Hospice House in Clermont, FL. Born on February 2, 1934 in Springvale, Maine to Carleton & Gertrude (Goodson) Hogue, Carleton was a computer technician for IBM, retiring after 27 years of service. He and his beloved wife, June moved to Davenport, FL in 1994, from Kingston, NH where they raised their family. He enjoyed farming and was instrumental in the renovation of Bakie Farm. Prior to living in Kingston, NH, he grew up in Sanford, Maine, where he was a member of the First Baptist Church. It was in Sanford, as a senior in high school, he met the love of his life, June, who was a freshman. He joined the Marine Corps where he served for 4 years as a seagoing marine and toured the world twice aboard the U.S.S. Tarawa - CV 40 aircraft carrier. In his early years, he was a volunteer fireman. He had a passion for physical fitness throughout his life holding a black belt in Karate. He competed in the MA Amateur Masters Division of Bodybuilding and was an avid member of the National Training Center in Clermont, FL and the Hard Nock's Gym in Amesbury, MA. He was also an avid reader of any and all Military history. In Davenport, he was a former Commandant and member of the Korean War Veteran Association (KWVA), where he organized and participated in Memorial Day honor guards and Burial Honor Teams for other Veterans. He and his wife were also active in their local Marine Corps "Toys for Tots" drive collecting and distributing toys to needy children at the holidays. Carleton was also an active member of CERTS in Polo Park where he resided. In later years, he crafted canes from woods found around the world, which he donated to any Veteran who needed one, with the promise that it be donated to other Veterans once they were done with them. He and his wife also attempted to play the game of golf, sometimes even succeeding at it. Carleton was preceded in death by his parents and a daughter, Susan Tori Hogue.
