John was born on March 10, 1925 to the late Harry and Margherita (Pabst) Coogan in Green Island, N.Y., but lived most of his life in Albany. He enlisted in the Army National Guard in 1939 when he was 15 years old, trained at Fort McClellan in Ala. and was stationed with the 27th Infantry, 106th Company Division from New York in Hawaii. John fought in the pacific arena of World War II in the battles of Tarara, Marshall, Gilbert, Saipan and Okinawa islands. He was among the first wave of "Long Tom" gun soldiers to secure the island in the battle of Eniwetok in 1944, for which he received an award of recognition. John returned to Albany after the war and married Jane Klimek in 1947. He worked for the New York Telephone Company as a lineman, repairman, installer and technician from 1947 until his retirement in 1987. Co-workers fondly referred to him as "Coogie." John enjoyed working on cars, and was a consummate mechanic, electrician and handyman. He could fix just about anything, and you could always count on him to come to your aid in an emergency. A favorite place for John was the family camp in the Helderbergs, where he enjoyed nature, peace and quiet, and took great pride in the care and upkeep of "the land." John was also a lot of fun, apt to spontaneously sing out a silly song, drop a hilarious one-liner or pull off an ingenious and carefully planned prank. His incredible humor, impeccable comedic timing and ability to make people laugh will always be remembered and sorely missed. John was predeceased by his daughter, Colleen (Coogan) Monje, who passed away in August of 2006; and six siblings, Harry, Sadie, Thomas, Jeannie, Russell and Patricia. John is survived by the love of his life, his wife of 60 years, Jane (Klimek) Coogan; his daughters, Janice (Coogan) Hunter and Carol (Strausman) Coogan of Albany; his son, John Michael Coogan of Philadelphia, Pa.; his brother, Robert Coogan of N.M.; 10 grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren.

Jane was born on June 16, 1924 to John and Mary (Kesicki) Klimiewicz of Johnstown, Pa., but lived most of her life in Albany. Throughout her life Jane remained dedicated to her family as well as her convictions. She was a devout Christian whose faith in God never waivered. When the troubles of the world came to her, Jane turned to her Bible for answers, and in there she consistently found solace and peace. She was a devoted wife and mother who raised four children over the course of 40 years, provided unwavering encouragement and remained relentlessly and deeply proud of them, regardless of the paths they took in life. She will be deeply missed by her children, particularly for the warmth of her heart and the depth of her love. Over the years she was active in many educational and proactive community programs and associations including Girl Scouts of America, Parent Teacher's Association, Operation Wake-up and her local Neighborhood Watch Association, with which she was the local membership chairman for most of the 1980s. In addition, Jane was a very hard worker. She was a savvy, intelligent businesswoman with a knack for finding solutions to problems that seemed impossible to solve, and an inherent unwillingness to take "no" for an answer. With initial roles working at the NYS Legislature, she eventually took to task a new career that played to her strongest skills. Over the course of 30-plus years, whil working as a real estate agent for O'Connor Sullivan and Robert's Realty, she brokered deals that assisted countless families and individuals to attain their dreams of home ownership. Unlike many in her field, she developed lifelong friendships and bonds with her clients as a result of her undying dedication and unique personal touch. In her off time and particularly in her later years, Jane and her husband, John would depart for the tranquility of their camp in the Heiderburg hills. It was there that she took comfort in God's creation and glowed in the presence of her family. Jane will be remembered fondly for her business sense, tenacious strength, love, advice and counsel and remarkable wisdom. Above all, she will be remembered for the power of her prayers and faith, which will resonate and live forever in the hearts and minds of her family and friends. Jane was predeceased by her husband of 60 years, John F. Coogan, who passed away in March of 2007; her daughter, Colleen (Coogan) Monje, who passed away in August of 2006; and by her seven siblings, Lottie, Stanley, Sophie, Felix, Adeline, Teresa, and Edward. Jane is survived by her daughters, Janice (Coogan) Hunter and Carol (Strausman) Coogan of Albany; her son, John Michael Coogan of Philadelphia, Pa.; 10 grandchildren, and three great- grandchildren. Connor-Cannon Family Funeral Home, 343 New Karner Road, Colonie (Rt. 155-south of Central Ave.). Interment will follow in Our Lady of Angels Cemetery, Colonie.
