We would like to extend our most sincere condolences to Louisa and the entire Hoch family. We had the privilege of meeting Dr. Hoch when we first moved to Nazareth in 2003. From the first day we met we knew he was a special person. He was an angel that walked among us. We are grateful to Dr. Hoch for his service to our country and his fellowman. Dr. Hoch has spent a lifetime making everyone he touched a better person. Rest in peace dear Dr. Hoch we will truly miss you.

My condolences to the family. Dr. Hoch was a "country doctor" with a gift for healing with his conversation, his sincerity, and his smile. Loved walking into his office with my parents. He was a shining star in our community.

There may be many doctors in the area but no one can compare to Dr. Hoch !! He was our family Dr. for three generations and was so caring and compassionate. We knew he was only a call away when anyone was sick. There will not be another Dr. as great as he was. Our thoughts are with the whole family. RIP Dr. Hoch
