January 21, 1924 — August 21, 2020
Franciscus Voogt
North Chili, New York
Friday August 21, 2020.
Survived by his loving wife; Cornelia Voogt. Daughters; Marion (Peter Sr.) Bartkiewicz, Addy (Robert) Garrie.
Grandchildren; Peter (Franca) Jr., Kimberly (Steve), LoriAnn (Bryan). Great grandchildren; Brandon, Kailin, Connor,Ryan. 2 sisters in the Netherlands: Toos Klijn and Noor Van D AA.
Our Dad was born in The Netherlands in 1924 making him 96 years old. As a young man during World War II he was taken to Germany as a forced laborer until the end of the war. On his return he became a policeman in Breda and Noorwijk, like his father.
In 1957 he took his young family (wife & two daughters, age 3 and 7) to live in America. No money, no job, but determined to live the American dream!
Shortly after arrival he got an entry level job at Mohawk Airlines as a baggage handler in Utica, NY then quickly was promoted to customer service manager in Rome, NY (1959). Mohawk merged with Allegheny, which merged with US Air then American Airlines. Dad stayed with them more than 32 years and transferred to Utica, Poughkeepsie, Providence (RI), Boston, Rochester, Buffalo & Birmingham. After retirement, Mom and Dad moved to Venice Fl. for 21 years. They then moved back to the Rochester area 10 years ago.
He loved traveling, skiing, golfing and ball room dancing.
HE ACHIEVED HIS GOAL OF LIVING THE AMERICAN DREAM !
We are proud and honored to be his daughters and want to share his story so you will know a little, as he is in the last chapter of a life well lived.
No prior calling hours.
Entombment will be held privately at White Haven Memorial Park. A service will be held in the near future due to the recent health concerns in Monroe County. To leave the family a condolence or to sign the guestbook, click above link "view guestbook".
In lieu of flowers, friends may make contributions to Hildebrandt Hospice Care Center, 2652 Ridgeway Ave, Rochester, NY 14626.
