Jeffrey Kevin Vogel, age 69, passed away at Rocky Knoll Health Care Center on March 8, 2016, after battling Alzheimer's for many years.
Jeff was born on August 21, 1946, to George and Viola (Spettel) Vogel.
He attended Holy Rosary Catholic School and graduated from New Holstein High School in 1965. Following graduation, he served in the United States Army in Germany. Jeff was honorably discharged on May 11, 1972. He worked at Gilson's in Plymouth and then at Kenro in Fredonia.
Jeff was an avid Green Bay Packer fan saving a week's vacation each year so he could go watch them train during the preseason. He also loved the Wisconsin State Fair, The Milwaukee County Zoo, and watching movies at the Marcus Cinema. Jeff especially enjoyed watching westerns and classic adventure films on television. He brought a special touch to Christmas; each gift he wrapped was a work of art.
Jeff is survived by his brothers: Robert (Doris) of Trabuco Cyn, CA and Steve of Oregon, WI; sisters-in-law: Mary Vogel of Kiel and Joan Vogel of Appleton; nephews: Doug, Robert, Mitch and Chad; nieces: Jean, Denise (his godchild), Jessica and Linde. He was preceded in death by his parents: George & Viola; his brothers: George, Dennis and Kenneth and sister: Judy.
Private family services will be held at the Meiselwitz-Vollstedt Funeral Home, Kiel who is assisting the family.
Burial will take place at St. John the Baptist Cemetery, Plymouth.
A special thank you to the staff at Rocky Knoll who treated Jeff with such kindness, compassion and support.
