William J. Hoch

Deepest sincere sympathy from the Brainard Family, owners of the Welles-Brainard Melody Farms in Coventry Ct. Mrs. Ruth Welles started Melody Dairy Farms in 1948 with 20 Holsteins, five Gernseys and five Jersey cattle.There was always a freezer full of Shady Glen ice cream on hand at our house.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Hoch family, at the loss of a great man. We enjoyed many a great story, and will be missed by all who knew him. Sorry we will be away for the celebration of his life Mass. Blessings to all. John & Mary Gorman.

I am so sorry for your loss. Manchester will remember his kindness and smile.

He was always a gentleman and a kind person. I enjoyed working for him in the late 70s.

May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm against your face, and the rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again. May God hold you in the palm of His hand. Bill I will miss your smile, your infectious laugh and most of all your love and kindness.
Fly with the angels Pepe,
Love always,
Mary Rae Granato

I will miss him. We are kindred spirits. I admire his values. Family, work, And God.
He was full of grace,integrity,and quiet confidence.
I felt blessed to call him my friend.
With sympathy,
Richard Gutcheon

I am very sorry for your loss and offer my condolences to the family. May the peace that our Heavenly Father provides soothe the pain in your hearts during this most difficult time.
