He was active in sports all his life and a fan of the old St. Louis Browns, the St. Louis Cardinals and the St. Louis University Billikens.

From 1967 to 1970, he also served as the archdiocesan director of the Bishops Overseas Relief Fund.

He was also pastor of St. David's Church in Arnold, where he helped start a school and built a parish center building with a gymnasium.
Among the survivors are two sisters, Bernice Geisz of St. Ann and Grace Sullivan of St. Charles; and two brothers, Raymond Vogler of Lemay and Joseph Vogler of Cool Valley.
