Our Staff
Oakwood employs three full-time employees and hires seasonal hourly workers during the
summer. Oakwood has a stable and loyal workforce of three, including the administrator and
grounds supervisor, who each have more than 25 years of service. Thomas O. Maggs, President
of the Oakwood Cemetery Board of Trustees, says of them:
"The dedication and brilliant management of our Chief Administrator Bernard Vogel is a key reason why
this national treasure called Oakwood is in such a strong position today. Bernie has been a member of
the Oakwood team since 1978, and it is our hope that Bernie will continue in his position for decades to
come.
"Our Superintendent of Grounds Thomas Gibson has been with Oakwood since the early 1980's. His work
ethic and willingness to take every challenge presented to him gives us the best of the best.
"Todd Jackson, the Assistant Superintendent of Grounds, has made his mark, not only in his capacity as
Assistant Superintendent, but also as a gifted artist whose work has been used as presentation gifts on
an annual basis for Oakwood's Award of Excellence.
"These three professionals oversee the seasonal staff that works so hard to keep Oakwood a welcoming
and sacred place for all."
