JOE HOCK

So here I am, in 2021, adding a post to Joe Hock's Memorial Guest Book. I have no idea if this will be read or reach all those that were influenced greatly by this Child of God.

Dear Poppy,Pam,Jayna, and Judy. I was so sorry for your loss and sorry I was not in town to attend Joe's funeral.

He loved it so. Am thinking of you this evening. I was sorry to hear about Norman also. Was glad you brought her to the Central Reunion. Much love, Joann Skinner Winters.

Dear Poppy and family,
We knew Joe from Spencer UMC and always admired his intellect and his compassion. We are sorry for your loss.

Poppy and Family...Im so sorry for your lose, my prayers and thoughts will be with you.

I am so blessed that God caused our paths to cross. There was one day in particular that I believe Joe was my angel. He helped lead me thru a rough patch and I've never forgotten the fact that he dropped everything he had on his calendar that day to be there for me. See you on the otherside my brother.
