Not sure what to say?

I have many fond memories of Dr. Hobday because of being friends with his daughter Mary since second grade. He was a person of substance and principle who was also sociable and had a ready wit. He was genuinely interested in other people and so clearly loved his family and enjoyed life. He helped so many people both through his practice and his compassion. My sympathies to all the Hobday family.

I would like offer the family of Dr. Hobday my most sincere and heart felt condolences on the loss of such a wonderful and caring man. Dr. Hobday is not the kind of man that people will ever forget. He was a very warm and caring man. Dr. Hobday was my ophthalmologist for many years. I remember how when he would come into the exam room that he would always seem to have a smile on his face and would always have something nice to say or a funny joke. I will also always remember how much love and...

To the Hobday family, I was saddened to read(online)of the death of Dr. Tom. He saw our family for many years and was such a good person and kind doctor. I had the pleasure of working with Kathleen at The Family Life Office and some of my children were in school with Meg at SJP. He will be greatly missed by many people, but mostly by you, his loving family. Know of my thoughts and prayers at this most difficult time.

My deepest sympathy to the Hobday family. Dr. Hobday was a warm, kind and generous man. The profound impact Dr. and Mrs. had on me in jr. high, high school and beyond have forever shaped me. The constant example of giving back and helping others I continue to carry with me. They welcomed me always like part of the family.

What a living legacy this man has left to carry on in his name.

Peace and love to all of you.

My mother was among Dr. Hobday's first patients when he came to St. Cloud. I took her to an appointment after Dad died and Dr. Hobday came out to the waiting room to meet me. I was impressed. Little did I know that within 10 years I would begin working for him. I stayed there for over 16 years. It was a great job.
God bless all the Hobdays.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Uncle Tom was a wonderful person and will be remembered fondly by all who were fortunate enough to meet him. He enlightened the hearts of many. I am sincerely sorry for your loss and my prayers are with your family.

Our son, was treated for retinalblastoma 30 years ago and Dr. Hobday was our doctor. Our son was only 11 months old at the time, and Dr. Hobday was the best doctor we could have asked for. He was kind and caring and our son is cancer free up to this day. We are saddened by his loss. Our prayers are with you and your family,
