He married Else Schmidt Nov. 8, 1949. The couple were married in the Corn High School gymnasium because the church had burned in January of that year.

He was also involved with the Et Cetera Shop in Weatherford from the time it began in 1977 until 1994. 
In 1995 he helped start the Mission House for the Homeless in Clinton and served on its board for many years. He also assisted with the building of a new kitchen and dining area at Mission House, as well as several other projects there.
Vogt loved woodworking and made many items that he donated to church organizations such as Mission House and the Et Cetera Shop, as well as others.
He was preceded in death by his parents; his wife; a son, Roy Vogt; and a sister, Ella Dyck.
Survivors include a daughter, Charlene Jaronek and husband Dan of Cordell; a son, James Vogt and wife Debbie of Edmond; and a brother, Jim Vogt and wife Beth of Oklahoma City.
