Our deepest condolences go to the Hock family. Although I did not get the opportunity to meet Mr. James Hock,Sr, his obvious zest for life and humor came through his daughter-in-law, Joanne Hock. Joanne is a really wonderful wellness instructor at Friendly Seniors Essex campus and her humor and stories really brighten our day and keep us in good health! God bless her and her family in their time of loss Most sincerely, Michael Svoboda and family.
