Longtime Denver resident Dr. Bruce Ogin passed away on May 10, 2025, at the age of 82. A service was held on May 13 at Temple Emanuel, with interment at Emanuel Cemetery, officiated by Rabbi Joe Black and Rabbi Steven Foster.
Born in Brooklyn, NY on February 11, 1943, Dr. Ogin attended Brooklyn College and received his medical degree in 1968 from the Kansas City University of Osteopathic Medicine. He began his medical career at the US Army Hospital in Okinawa, and later moved to Denver to work at Rose Medical Center.
In 1966, Dr. Ogin and Sandi Strauss were married. They remained a couple until Dr. Ogin’s passing.
Dr. Ogin was a past president of the Denver B’nai B’rith Chapter and the Denver Optimist Club.
“Bruce lived by a deep moral compass, with integrity, generosity, honesty and a love that radiated through every facet of his life,” his family said.
“His presence was grounding; his convictions, inspiring, and he brought so much goodness to all those who knew him.”
Survivors are Dr. Ogin’s wife Sandi; children Dr. Barry (Grace Cheng) Ogin, Shara (Frank Kuehnel) Ogin and Brett Ogin; and grandchildren Kendall Ogin, Brandon Ogin and Auria Kuehnel-Ogin.
