Earl,
We will miss your warm smile and your loving heart. I wish I could hear you talk about your beloved trains and the job you loved so, one more time. Your pride in all your accomplishments at Rochester Telephone, working with switching stations and such was ever evident in our conversations after church at GBC. Above all, your love of God will give you eternal life. How very lucky you were to have Bea for so many years, such a very beautiful lady! Your memory will remain in our hearts forever.
With Love and respect, Eric & Sherry Romig

I was so sorry to read of Hodkey's passing. Hockey was the first man I worked with at Rochester Tel. We were still in the same job 30 years later. Hold on to your memories and let them guide you during this time of sadness.

Bea& Family,
I was shocked to see the newspaper and I want you to know that our family's prayers and thought go out to you. Hockie was always one of my dad's favorites at the company. Rest easy knowing he is with Jule and Jean making a place ready for all of us.
