It’s hard to believe that it’s been 9 years since you’ve been gone!!! Think about you everyday. Today has been a little harder than I thought it would be. Love Carla Marie, Victor, Adrianna and even though you never got to meet her love your great granddaughter Sofia!!!

Today marks the day you would be 95. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think of you in some way, especially when I’m at work in the very early morning making donuts!!! 😂 We have all come a long way in life since you have been gone. I can’t say it’s been easy but I can honestly say that I wouldn’t change a thing!!! Victor has become a wonderful young man and I’m sure that due to your influence. Adrianna has a family of her own, I’m sure you know because you’re watching over us!!! I hope you are resting easy knowing that Erika and I are in a great place in life and we owe that to you. Tonight we will be celebrating you with maple 🍁 bars because I know they were your favorite!!! Love you always and continue to guide us in life.

How can it be? Almost 10 years gone? Tomorrow you would’ve been 95 years old. I’m sure you are looking down on us and are very proud! We have all come a very long way in life. I often think you sent me my husband, Marcus. He eats head cheese (yuck) watches the same tv shows and has a lot of knowledge, just like my dad. He also loves maple bars!! JR is doing well, sober for almost 2 years, and lives with us in Stockton! Thank you for sending the ladybugs 🐞 all this week, I know it has been a reminder that my dad loves me. I’ve been dreaming about you quite often, my husband says you are visiting me! I texted Aunt Mid and asked her to go to your grave and put flowers for your birthday! 🎂 I wish you were here, but know you are safe with our Heavenly Father! I wanna visit soon, seeing you is ALWAYS our first stop driving into town. Love and miss you more and more everyday. You instilled a work ethic in me that I didn’t always but now very much appreciate!! Our lives are amazing, filled with love, peace, happiness, and family. I wake up everyday filled with joy. The only thing missing is you! Please continue to watch over us and be our guardian angel! “Drop kick me Jesus through the goalpost of life”

I was always proud to be your friend of 19 plus years. I loved you like you were my father and I always defended your honor even if it meant everyone around me hated me. I learned a lot from you and thank you for giving me the opportunity’s I asked for and thank you for supporting me and never giving up on me. Thank you for allowing me to marry Carla. You raised a strong woman who’s work ethic is matched only by you. I know you were always proud of her but that temper of hers (we used to say) “ oh shit don’t lose it”. Carla loved you more then you’ll ever know and she never wanted to leave your side and with all that happened or was happening thought if we left your home that you would not be safe . I always admired her for protecting you and the way she took care of you day and night when you got dementia. And I would fill in when she went to work and I got shower duty and made sure you were a clean and that your hair was combed and you had your sweets and house slippers on. I miss you so much at times I still break down to tears thinking about you. What I miss the most is the Sunday hams with all of us at the dinner table and you would always tell us a story of the past and it was never the same story twice.
It’s to bad that some people had a different opinion and chose to go a different route but the truth be told Carl and I erned our keep and we all were family and it’s to bad for them . No one can ever take that away from us . We got the time and the memories to prove it. And I love her still and always will. And I thank you again for being the patriarch that influenced my life. You will always be here in my heart and I love you .

Dad,
I miss you more than ever. I just bought a house, I know you would be so proud of me. You have a great-grandson that came into this world on 9/27/17, his name is Brodii Keith Hunter. I wish you were here to hold him and be his "pa-pa". I told Jack he has BIG shoes to fill to be Brodii's pa-pa.
I love you always :)

Dad, I miss you so much. I often dream about you. I had a wonderful dream on xmas morning. We were driving in a truck, on a back road somewhere. You pulled over and I hugged you. You said you didn't feel good. I said it was going to be ok. Then I hugged you again. It had been over a year, time just keeps on going by. Cleaning out the house was bittersweet. This time without you has been so very hard. I wish you were here so I could rub ur back, or your feet. Make you something to eat, or just sit and watch tv with you. I love you with all my heart. All I have now are my brothers, and the memories. We get together and talk about all the crazy things you used to say or do. We miss you so damn much. Please watch over us and be our guardian angel.

Dad,
It's been a little over 4 months, and I still miss you more than ever. It seems like yesterday that you had passed. It seems like an eternity ago that me & Billy prepared for your services and funeral. It seems like forever since we were in Nebraska, celebrating your life and watching you be buried next to Nana Nellie & Grandpa. Even though it seems like a long time has passed, i know it really hasn't. What I am dreading is the future without you. I didn't want it to hit the 1 month mark, and that came and passed. Then 2 months came and passed. Then 3, then 4 months. It seems like a dream. What i am dreading is this time passing w/o you. I miss going to the house, and seeing you there, on the couch, watching tv. I would sit next to you, and ask you "ARE YOU HUNGRY???" and you would respond "WHADYA GOT??" I made you anything from breakfast burritos, to one time you requested a rack of ribs and biscuits and gravy, lol. I went right to the store and got you what you asked for!!! Your most famous line was probably "DO YOU GOT ANY CAKE, PIE OR ICE CREAM???" I miss watching you watch your favorite crime shows, especially Forensic Files. You would sit there and get worked up, and sometimes curse at the TV. I can't say enough about the kind of father you were. You were supportive, even when you didn't need to be. You loved us all equally and were the best father I could have EVER asked for. I tear up as I write this remembrance of you. I don't want you to be here in pain, but I DO want you to be here. Doesn't make much sense, does it?? I miss you so much it hurts. I have had a great time with Billy and Gary the last few months. We have reminisced over old times, remembered old stories, we've watched old home movies and slides. You sure did document a lot of our childhoods. We fondly watched the slides recently at Gary's, noting that your focus was off at times, hahaha. We loved looking at the trips to Nebraska, birthday parties, and road trips we took. Our memories, stories, and those movies and pictures is all we have left of you. You did leave a wonderful legacy. Your shoes will never be filled, for there is NOT another man like Bill Vogele.

Billy,
I know it was difficult when you were 17 and your parents divorced. You survived and made the best of it and from this, today you are the fine son, husband, father and brother. I admire your dedication shown to your family, especially Gary while your mother is incapacitated in the nursing home.
The two recent trips you took your dad to Nebraska to be pampered by his sisters was the BEST thing you could do for your dad, aunts, Gary, and me!
Love,
Barb

Dad, I fondly recall some of the things we did together when I was a young sprout: Like when you took me out in the country and let me shoot the 22 at tin cans; you taught me safety with a rifle. I remember the candy bars you'd bring me home after playing music at the nightclubs. When you took me to the drag races. You and Jack Lawson used to bet on who had the faster car. Your Dodge or his Pontiac; you were a Mopar man back then. You helped me buy my first hot rod; remember that 64 Chevy Biscayne with the big block engine? The company picnics at Tilden Park. Sometimes it was just a simple drive through scenic back roads while talking about all sorts of things. You also taught me from your experiences the hard lessons in life and passed along to me your strong work ethic. I am glad we got to spend time together on the two vacations we took back home in Falls City in '12 and '13. I miss you Mopar man.

Dear Aunt Violet, Aunt Mid, Aunt Betty, Aunt Nellie, Aunt Alice, and Aunt Polly:
Bill was the luckiest brother to have all you sisters. You always cherished him and I was amazed to see him pampered and fed during our visit in 2013. His color pinked up and his face and belly filled out. Most of all, his blue eyes had an extra sparkle and expression during his reminiscence of days growing up on the farm.
Lisa, our visit to the farm was most memorable with all the animals.
Edward, you were a great tour guide and navigator throughout Fall City, Rulo and the many cornfields and cemeteries.
Shelly your dedication as the family genealogist sparked up some old memories out of Bill.
Cousin Jean, you help Bill recall more details of his wild Bill days.
Libby, you were a great help to Aunt Violet prepare, feed and serve Uncle Bill, Billy,
Gary and me.
Aunt Betty and Uncle Ray, it's wonderful you restored the old red schoolhouse into the School Nursery for the future generations to remember the Vogele family teachings and celebrations. And the beautiful flower arrangements for Bill.
Julie, thank you for helping your mom with the flowers. I remember Bill perked up when he first met you because you are a pretty thing and you held his hand.
Thank you all for your LOVE to the Bill Vogele Family

Dad,
I cannot believe you are gone. I miss the sound of your voice. I miss your sense of humor. I miss all the little quirky things you used to do around the house. You were a wonderful provider, a very hard worker, and the best father anyone could have asked for. You are at peace, with Nana Nellie, Grandpa and Augie. No longer in any physical pain. We are bringing you home to Nebraska soon. Love & miss you always.

Erika,
Yes, dad was a fine example of being a hard worker, father and grandfather.
Although, your aunts wanted him to return back to Nebraska for his last years of life, he was determined to look after his daughters and grandchildren in Antioch. He LOVED you all so much.
