Harry J. Vogel Sr.

Harry was one of the kindest men I have met. He was there for my daughter, Traci, and granddaughter, Jessica, when John and Johnny were killed and he is the one person who kept my daughter sane during this time. We loved you Harry. You will always be in our hearts.

Although it is never a call one wishes to receive, I am so thankful that I was able to be there for my brother on the day of his passing - so he wouldn't be alone. And although his family and friends here in Steelton are saddened by his loss, we are grateful that he "came home" to find his peace. It was especially comforting to remember the good times with friends and family and we will treasure those memories forever. If I may, I would like to take this chance to thank everyone for their...

Just a few short weeks ago, Harry called to congratulate, both me and Denny, on our recent marriage. He was his usual, carefree self! Harry will be forever remembered and loved by his family, and I treasure the stories and memories they shared with me. I was honored to witness, especially for his Mom and Dad, an outpouring of love, caring and kindness from his family and friends, in Steelton, that is rare in this fast world we live in today. Harry, surely, felt loved and at home here. His...

Harry had a new name "Big Harry" as all knew him over the last decade in the skating world. He was the light in the life of his son and daughter. He was always there for them. When he traveled to races with his son he never left his side. When other Dad's went off on their bonding time Big Harry was still trailing behind his son.

He traveled to Santiago, Chile in 99, Barrancabermeja, Colombia in 2000, Valence de Agen, France in 2001, and too many US cities to list. He never...

Words can't explain the emotions I have felt since October 30, 2002.Harry was the most unique person I ever met. I will cherish the wonderful four years we had together. Please watch over us Dad and keep Faith Rose (and future grandchildren) safe.I know you're finally at peace.I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU!!! You will always be in my heart. I love you Dad! Thoughts and prayers forever....

I can't put in words the loss my family feels. Harry has been there for my neice and sister this summer when my Brother-in-law & 11 yr old nephew (a fellow skater) were killed June 23rd. We'll truly miss you.

I'll miss you cuz.

It truly came as a shock when I found out that Harry had passed. Although I had not seen him in many years; ours lives took us different places. I will always remember the good times when we were younger hangin' out on Cottage Hill.

May you find comfort from your family and friends.
