I remember one time when we were working on a construction site together. It was a hot summer day, and we were all sweating profusely. Semisi looked at me and said, "Man, I'm so hot, I could sweat through a steel beam." We both burst out laughing, and our laughter echoed through the construction site.
Semisi's sense of humor also extended to his misadventures. He was always getting into trouble, but he never seemed to mind. One time, he was driving to work when he accidentally hit a cow. When the police arrived, Semisi explained, "Officer, I didn't hit the cow. The cow hit me!" The officer couldn't help but laugh, and Semisi got off with a warning.
But Semisi's humor wasn't just about making people laugh. He also used it to help others. One time, I was feeling really down, and Semisi could tell something was wrong. He came over to me and said, "Hey, man, what's up? You look like you've lost your favorite teddy bear." I couldn't help but smile, and Semisi's humor helped me forget about my troubles.Semisi Vogtschmidt was a true friend, a great coworker, and a hilarious human being. His laughter and humor will never be forgotten, and I'm grateful to have known him. If you ever have the chance to meet Semisi Vogtschmidt, don't miss it. He's a man who will make you laugh until your sides hurt, and his laughter will stay with you long after you've left his company.
Semisi Vogtschmidt, we miss you!
