Unfortunately I did not know Mr. Chris Hoey personally but I do know his niece Ms.Susan Cooper Silvia. I also know that the "apple does not fall far from the tree" and from what I know of Susan, it is obvious that Mr. Hoey was a incredible and wonderful person. I am very sorry for your loss and pray for your comfort. God's Love and Blessing to all of Mr. Hoey's family and friends. My love and prayers always, Daniel Trunfio
