He grew up on the rural Bismarck family farm along with his two sisters, Roberta Wachter and Ramona Hogue. Most of Pete's working career was centered on his cattle ranch and small grain farm located eight miles north of Bismarck along the Missouri River. Pete married Karen Hogue in 1974, and together they raised four children on the family ranch. Their children are Rita Sommers Dennis of Minot, Janice Hogue-Kinahan of Atlanta, Kellie Pierce Troy of Mandan, and David Hogue Paula of Minot. Pete later pursued real estate development as he scaled back his cattle ranch, beginning with the Riverside Subdivision on what is known as Hogue Island. Pete enjoyed hunting and fishing trips in North Dakota, Alaska, and Canada. He took most of his fishing trips with friends and family in between spring planting and summer harvest. In later years, sons-in-law Russ Kunz and Troy Pierce, and son David Hogue served as reliable fishing guides. He was a member of the Bis-Man Elks Club 1199 for 60 years. Pete also enjoyed metal work and fabrication out of his shop on the farm. Pete built farm machinery and tools as a hobby. Pete is survived by his wife of 37 years, Karen G. Hogue; sister, Roberta Wachter; children, Rita Sommers, Janice Hogue-Kinahan, Kellie Jo Pierce, and David Hogue; grandchildren, Christopher Schmaltz, Bridgette Steinle, Nicole Kunz, Zachary Steinle, Danielle Kunz, Elizabeth Schmaltz, Marshall Hogue, Morgan Pierce, Caren Kinahan, and Megan Hogue; and son-in-law Russ Kunz. Pete was preceded in death by his parents, and his sister, Ramona. In lieu of flowers, the family prefers memorials to Elks Camp Grassick or Salvation Army.
