Robert Vogel Obituary
He was born in Brooklyn, N.Y., on Feb 3, 1915, to Margaret T. and William Vogel.
He graduated from Rollins College in Winter Park, Fla., and last worked for Retail Credit Co. in New London.
He married the former Elizabeth R Wolfe on Jan. 19, 1946, in Hopewell, Va.; she survives him.
Mr. Vogel summered in Niantic from 1919 until moving there permanently in 1950. He was a past member of the Niantic Community Church and the Oswegatchie Hills Club. He was an avid tennis player and was captain of his college team. He spent many happy years in Saunders Point and remembered with fondness the hours spent on the Niantic River or climbing through the Oswegatchie Hills.
As well as his wife, Mr. Vogel is survived by his daughter, Margaret V. Dickinson and son, William R. Vogel, both of Florida, four grandsons, and two great-grandchildren.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Community Hospice of Northeast Florida, 4266 Sunbeam Road, Jacksonville FL 32257 or the charity of your choice.
Burial will be in New London at the family's convenience.

Dear Vogel and Dickinson Families,
I remember your father fondly as the person who taught the children in Saunders Point (myself included) how to play tennis. He was a good teacher and a true gentleman. He will certainly be missed.
