Robert John “Bob” Vogels of Wausaukee, age 82, passed away in his home surrounded by family on Tuesday, February 17, 2026. He was born on August 30, 1943, in Appleton, WI, the son of the late William and Christine (Hermans) Vogels. He married Marjorie Ann Van Rooy on June 10, 1967, at Holy Cross Catholic Church in Kaukauna, WI.
After serving in the Marine Corps, Bob worked as a maintenance electrician. In retirement, he and Marge traveled the country before settling in Wausaukee in the home they built together. Bob loved the outdoors and working with his hands, especially carpentry and welding, and was always ready to build or fix anything. He cherished summers at the family cottage on Eagle Lake and shared a special bond with his dog, Rusty.
His surviving family members will deeply miss him: his wife, Marge; his sister, Marlene; his daughters Jill Wilcox and Sue (Harold) Trudeau, his son William (Tiffany) Vogels; 12 grandchildren; 5 great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews. Bob was preceded in death by his parents and his sisters, Mickey Howard, DeeDee Gallow, and Bunny Koester.
Mass of Christian Burial will be 11:00 am on Saturday, March 7, 2026, at St. Augustine Catholic Church in Wausaukee with Father David Schmidt presiding. Visitation is at the church from 10:00 am until the time of Mass.
Bob’s family extends their greatest gratitude to the doctors and nurses at Bellin Hospital, the VA Hospital, and Unity Hospice for their excellent care during his final days.
