Dr. & Mrs. Hockley were 2 very amazing people. I grew up in Westwood-Cheviot Church of Christ. I spent my ministry internship there as well. I volunteered as a youth coach there too. When ever I think of Westwood-Cheviot Church of Christ. I cannot think of it without thinking of Dr. Hockley. With all the Harvest Home and Church Home Coming events. He was always there as a great example of how to live and love.

Dr. Hockley was a wonderful person who I greatly admired and he will be missed. I was baptized at Westwood-Chevior Chuch of Christ by Dr. Hockley and my husband and I were married by him over 52 years ago. When we decided to renew our vows for our 25th wedding anniversary, Dr. Hockley did the honors. We send our sincere sympathy to you and your family. You will be in our prayers.
