Obituary from Badger Funeral Home:
Hendrick “Hank” DeVogel, 50, of Rindge, N.H. formerly of Littleton, passed away Nov. 21, 2013 at the Golden Living Center in Fitchburg after a long battle with Kidney Failure
Born in Needham July 25, 1963 to the late Hendrick and Eleanor (Slavin) DeVogel, Hank grew up in Littleton and attended the Littleton Schools and Nashoba Tech, where he took up plumbing. Hank worked for many years in the plumbing trade before finding his calling as a welder, working for J.P. Routhier & Son and most recently with Dillion Boiler of Fitchburg.
Hank was an avid motorcyclist who would ride his Harley if at all possible. He also loved music and would finish his days by playing his guitars. Most of all, he enjoyed spending time with his large group of close friends.
Hank is survived by his brother James “Jim” DeVogel and his wife Michelle of Littleton; his nephew Jamie; his close friends Kevin “Red” Jordon and his wife Ellen of Winchendon and Richard Dustin of Monmouth Maine; his step-brother Michael McCormic; his step-sisters Marcie Smith, Becky Connolly, Catherine McCormic and Jennifer Dwyer; and his large group of close friends. In addition to his parents, Hank was preceded in death by his friends Johnny, Lenny and others, and his stepmother Dorothy (Born) DeVogel.
Family and friends would like to thank the staff of the Golden Living Center of Fitchburg for making his final days so comfortable.
