His companies built most of the cement plants in San Antonio.
He was a member of the Lions Club, Rotary Club and Holy Spirit Catholic Church. Henry was a gifted tenor singer and sang at numerous weddings and civic functions.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Tillie Dudek Vogel; his parents, Joseph and Adele Vogel; brother, Eddie Vogel; and sisters, Agnes Ott and Elsie Krueger.
