Michael Hoogasian
Michael Hoogasian, 31, Cranston
Michael and Sandy Hoogasian were perfect neighbors. They never
passed up a chance to chat with the other families living in their
Cranston neighborhood and made sure to check on other homeowners
after a rash of robberies hit the area.
Michael, 31, is among the confirmed dead in the nightclub fire.
Sandy also died in the fire.
"They were always thinking of others," said neighbor Rachael
Dunn, who remembered a generous couple that always brought over
Christmas gifts and kept up their kindness throughout the year.
"They were so young. They were openhearted and really cared."
But Thursday was always reserved as their night out. They wound
up at The Station last week after Michael got two free tickets to
the Great White concert from the band's lead singer.
The two met at a tattoo parlor.
"Every Thursday, they had a friend they went out with," said
neighbor Ted Norberg. "Luckily, their friends didn't have free
tickets, too."
