My deepest condolences to Gloria and Anndee Hochman and family. So sad to hear of Stan's passing. Such a great guy..always enjoyed talking with him and making him laugh and vice versa. He also introduced me to the wonderful Vilma, and that was so special to me. My heart goes out to you and your family at such a difficult time. So sorry for your loss. Remembering Stan from the Township Travel days and the laughs we had.
Rest In Peace, Stan!

Dear Gloria and Family,
In deepest sympathies I will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers! Stan was one of Philly's greatest journalists ever. He was a master at his craft as Ray mentioned. God Bless Stan the Man!

I want to thank Mr. Hochman for all the enjoyment he gave me in reading him and listening to him on radio. Thank you Mrs Hochman and the family for allowing me that enjoyment. Vaya con Dios Mr Hochman!

It's hard to believe Stan has passed away. He was supposed to go on forever, or at least that's how it feels to me. He was one of the giants of the sports writing biz when I moved to Philadelphia in 1969, to be awestruck by the work, and ultimately, the joy of knowing guys like Stan, Sandy Grady and George Kiseda.... I was 25 when I met Stan. I guess he was 40. I admired a long list of writers in Philadelphia but Stan and George were special to me. As overmatched as I was working against them, it was a thrill to be accepted as a kind of junior peer and to watch them at work. If you can imagine a young guy who loves rock and roll getting to hang with the Beatles, that was me. I went on to cover a lot of amazing things but there's little I ever experienced to match that feeling... I still have clips Stan wrote in the '60s and '70s, which crackle with the same electricity every time I read them. I'll never forget his piece on Joe Frazier, accepting the judges' decision after losing a fight to Ali, who was to busy being a showman to be at all gracious. Wrote Stan: "If you want to see a different Ali, another one will be along shortly.".... If you wanted to see a different Stan, you couldn't. There was only one Stan the Man Hochman, every single day.

I will never forget working with and for Stan Hochman at the Philadelphia Daily News as a sportswriter in the late 1960s. He showed an incredible knowledge of many sports and was able to make them interesting to many readers. I pray that his family will have comfort, peace and strength in this trying time. I am so sorry for their loss.
