Harry Bogen Obituary
DANVILLE - Harry F. Bogen, 76, passed away Thursday (Nov. 16, 2023) at OSF Sacred Heart Medical Center, Danville.
He was born on March 26, 1947, the son of William and Audrey (Leadbetter) Bogen, in New Haven, Conn.
Harry leaves behind three children, Meghan (Raymond) Flegal, Patrick (Sarah) Bogen and Matthew (Amy) Bogen; six grandchildren, Emma Bogen, Caroline Bogen, Izzy Bogen, Jacob Bogen, Lucas Bogen and Zach Bogen; as well as many extended family members in Connecticut.
Harry was preceded in death by his parents; wife, Margaret (Sweeney) Bogen; and sister, Debbie Bogen.
Harry graduated from Milford High School in Connecticut and attended Charter Oak College. In his younger years he was a volunteer firefighter for the West Haven, Conn., Fire Department. He began his career working for Creative Products in 1979. In 1988, he moved to Illinois to continue his career with the company in various management positions and helping to develop new products until the plant closed in 2012. After his early retirement, he continued to do consulting for ConAgra Foods. Harry was a member of St. Paul's Catholic Church and the Vermilion County Master Gardeners, where he helped in maintaining the herb garden at Kennekuk Park. Harry enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren and family. He loved to be outdoors in the yard and work in the garden. Harry always enjoyed delegating tasks, and he never knew a stranger. He was an avid Schlarman Hilltopper fan and could be seen at almost every sporting event.
