To the entire Hoch family,

I am so sorry to hear of Tim's passing. I got to know Tim about 10 years ago when I became his business agent at Eastern Industries. I enjoyed working with him on contracts. He always stood up for his coworkers and always did the right thing for them. Mostly, I will miss our conversations about life outside of work. He was a great man and and it was a privilege to know him. May God bless him and his family during this difficult time.
