William Martin Vogel Jr. ’40

AFTER A REPEAT ENCOUNTER with heart surgery, Marty died Mar. 3, 1991, at his Mendharn, NJ. home. Classmates Ted Nevins and Ivry Morris ushered at his memorial service. Marty prepared for Princeton at Hill school, majored in psychology, enjoyed Cottage Club, and practice in track.

After graduation he took up flying, leading to his becoming a Naval fighter pilot, serving both at home and abroad. He then settled in northern NJ. to work with Standard Container Co., a familyowned business. Eventually he became the firm's president and succeeded in substantially expanding it. In 1970, the company was acquired by Brockway Glass, and for five years Marty continued as head of its standard container division and as a member of the board of directors. For many years, Marty was deeply involved with thoroughbred horses at his Mendham farm and active in the racing community. The breeding and raising of race horses was one of his great loves and interests.

Marty is survived by his widow, Minsi; two sons, William Martin III and James G; a daughter, Marliese Susan Spalding; and six grandchildren. To them all, we convey our sympathy and also our gratefulness for having had Marty as a longtime faithful classmate and firm friend.
