John Vogel an icon at Xerox Cincinnati. John hired me at Xerox Corporation and was always a friend during my career at Xerox. Always a gentleman with a lot of whit and humor about life. John always had time to talk when you required his advice. Yes and icon indeed. My condolences to the family.

I grew up with John's youngest son Phillip...aka PJ. Phil was the youngest of 4 boys and I'm fairly certain John thought he was done at 3! We had a lot of great times at their house in Madeira, OH. He was a great father to Phil and to his other sons. I realize that now more than ever as a father myself. It's heartwarming to see the comments from numerous Xerox folks who John managed or inspired in his own career. He touched many people who went on to raise families and have great careers.
Quick funny story: Phil had shot me with a BB gun in my backside from about 80 yards. As a punishment, John had Phil stand against the garage door with his back to me and allowed me to shoot him in his rear from 50 paces. When Phil turned to accept his punishment, John took the BB rifle from me and gave it 5 extra pumps! He told me that Phil had "earned this and it was time to pay the piper.". Justice served...
There is a great place for inspirational men like John and I imagine he has lit up his pipe and got comfortable by now. Rest in peace.
Our prayers are with your family.

Semper Fidelis SIR.

John was an inspiration to me while I was at Xerox. He was the first salesman that I knew that retired from there. He was the "fax" man to me. My condolences to his family
