Flight TimesMany a fond memory of the hours in the air from Atlanta outbound. Could never keep up with Franks many children but tried in other area’s. Best thoughts on this sad time for all of Us God’s Blessings David Warren EAL (Capt. RET )
To all the Vogtner family I want to give my sincere condolences and prayers. I spent about as much time at the Vogtner house on Fairlane Drive as I did at my own. In, not a small way, you were the Brothers and Sisters I never had. Peace be with you all.
Your father’s name, our Brother, Francis Vogtner, Sr., has been added to the Remembrance List of The Passionists of Holy Cross Province. He will be remembered in their daily Masses and Prayers and will be missed by his fellow Knights!
John and Family, Please accept our prays and sympathies during this trying time. Even though your father led a full and satisfying life, the loss is not easy to deal with at times. Having lost my father suddenly two years ago, I share in your grief. If there is anything that I or my family can do, just call and we will step and help. In the love of God that we reside in, Doug
I remember many happy times with the Vogtner Family when we lived across the street on Fairlane Drive, Atlanta, Ga. Praying for all of you. Betty, Gail, & Gary Chapman
To Frank’s Family – I knew your Dad for a very long time – since all, or most of you, were at St. John’s in Church and in School with me and mine. I knew your mom even better – always watching in amazement at how she managed the whole big crew of you with such a calm, peaceful spirit – finding time to volunteer for all sorts of school activities. Your dad just as calm and orderly with all of you. You are from a unique and special family. I was blessed when my daughter, Karen, became a part of it. How strong and brave your Dad was in his last years. You have blessed memories to treasure. Blessings and prayers. G. Cook
