Tom was born July 3rd, 1928 in Belgrade, NE to Merle and Helen (Ainlay) Vogt. He spent his childhood years in Belgrade and Grand Island.
He joined the U.S. Navy in 1945 following high school graduation serving for two years.
He attended the University of Wisconsin graduating in 1952 with a B.S. in Metallurgical Engineering.
He began his career with American Smelting and Refining Company holding various operating and research positions in the United States and abroad. He joined National Zinc Company and moved to Bartlesville in 1961. He was named President and CEO of the company in 1972, and was instrumental in organizing the purchase of National Zinc Company with a group of local investors in 1973.
He was a member of AIME, Mining Club of New York, Mining and Metallurgical Society of America, a director of Union National Bank, and a member of the Bartlesville Chamber of Commerce and Hillcrest Country Club.
Tom met the love of his life, Halene (Babs) Turner on a blind date arranged by family members. After a whirlwind romance, they were married in Salt Lake City on February 20th, 1954.
Tom and Babs lived in Utah, Texas and New Jersey before moving to Bartlesville.
After his retirement, Tom and Babs enjoyed traveling and often vacationed in California and Utah visiting family and friends. There will be many happy memories of holidays, vacations, and summer pool parties. His grandchildren will fondly remember July 4th celebrations with Granddad acting like a big kid shooting off the most fireworks.
He loved to play golf and twice scored a hole in one, the second time after his leg amputation.
Tom was the beloved husband of Babs for 54 years; loving father of Melinda and husband Keary Richardson, Richard Vogt, Tom and wife D'Anna Vogt; doting grandfather of David Richardson and wife Amanda Huff, Robert Richardson, Michael Richardson, Lauren Backhaus-Vogt, Chloe Backhaus-Vogt and Jeff Vogt. He is also survived by his sister Marilyn and husband Richard Webster of Grand Island, NE.
He will be remembered as an intelligent, kind, and generous man with a patient and gentle spirit. He touched the lives of his many friends and was very close to his family.
He minimized his own health concerns and never complained about the challenges involved with taking care of his wife at home during her illness. It broke our hearts to lose him and we will miss him every day. Thomas Lyle Vogt
