“I hope you come by and have good memories of a great man,” said Leslie Hogle Wednesday, Oct. 3 during the tree dedication ceremony for her late husband, Al Hogle, at the Longboat Key Police Station.

The plaque will be cemented into the ground in front of the cassia fistula tree that was planted in honor of Police Chief Al Hogle.
