Our heartfelt condolences to Kevin's brothers and sister! When he was young, we always enjoyed celebrating his Christmas Eve birthday with him! Kevin was a joy to see at family gatherings, and used to dance a mean polka. We will miss him greatly!
Love, Jeanine, Steve and Marty Riedel

As a former student at Nathan Hale I can say that no teacher ever had an impact on my life to rival that of Mr. Soczka. His input and intellect helped shape the way I view this world, and I'm greatly disheartened to hear about the loss of such a great man. Wherever you are Mr. Soczka they are lucky to have you

We will miss you Mr. Soczka all the great memories you have provided for us over the last few years with your positive attitude and great personality, from all of us we will miss you. Rest easy Mr. Soczka

Kevin was always making us laugh through his joking nature at Republican Party meetings which was very welcome. He also tried to be a peace maker on numerous occasions. He will be greatly missed.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I had worked with Kevin at Briggs. After I retired, Kevin would mail me Raffles tickets for the Knights of Columbus or
For the church. There'd always be a tiny little note enclosed along with the tickets I was going to purchase. I will miss my twice a year messages
From Kevin. My condolences to the whole family. Beverly Meyer
