Tony, not a single day goes by in which I do not think of you. You were one of the most charismatic, humorous, outgoing individuals I have known in my entire life. Everytime I think back to a funny memory of you, Kara and I, it always brings a warm smile to my face. You touched more lives than you could have ever known. We all miss and love you very much. I will see you again my dear friend.

My Beloved Tony,
My heart is broken now that you are gone. Without you, I feel a big piece of me is missing. You were not only a brother, but a best friend, or as some would say, my "twin". You were a wonderful man who exemplified all the qualities a sister could have asked for. Your spirit will live on through me, as well as all the countless others whose lives you have touched. I look forward to the day we meet again, my beautiful brother. You will be loved and remembered always.

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Tony, I still cannot believe you are gone. Your eulogy was the hardest thing I have ever had to do, but an honor that will never be surpassed. You have been involved in almost every one of the best memories of my life. I will miss "The Look" but it is comforting knowing your memory will live on in your two wonderful boys. I will see you again some day.
I also want to thank Becky, Ron, Frank, Nelda, Louis, Kara and Ryan for making me feel like part of the family the last couple of weeks. Your support will never be forgotten.

Tony - We have been friends for over 25 years. I will never forget and already miss your great sense of humor and your loyal friendship. You have such a unique personality; I'm confident I will never meet anyone quite like you again. We have had so many good times and I appreciate every last one of them. I'll always remember "Mr. Softy", "Ride by Rooties", and all the fun we had in the neighborhood as kids.
- Becky, Ron, Kera, Fred, Nelda -
Thank you for making me feel like a member of your family...

I have known tony for a while. I will pray for him and his family. I will miss Tony a lot. I will miss his smiling face, his eagerness to get the bad guy, him calling me to tell me about the dope case he just made and most of all, I will miss seeing him. This hurts me so much and I feel for his family. I will pray for them every chance I get. RIP BROTHER RIP. You will be missed more than you ever would have known.

our deepest sypathy goes to the family of Tony. He was a very caring and loving individual and saddens our hearts to lose him. My son was room-mates with him at one time and myself and my wife Betty would go over to see how they were doing from time to time. He was a very polite and funny young man full of life and we always had a very good time being with him. We are truly going to miss him, My son David W Hockemeier, myself and my wife Betty & David F Hockemeier.
