Pastor David Hocking was one of my favorite pastors preaching the word of God. I loved listening to him Monday thru Friday. He is strong in the Lord. God´s always speaks to me. I´m sorry I don´t hear him on the radio anymore. So I went on google to listen to him again. I don´t want to forget about him especially when he preaches God´s Word. Thank you for listening to the Holy Spirit and teaching His Word. I miss him on the radio but I´m glad he´s on google. Thank you for your ministry. God has used you all these years. I started listening to you about 3 years ago. I´m glad you are one of the ones who preaches God´s Word strongly.
Rose Gorton.
Ps. Please do not go off your program. There´s only a few I listen to and you are one of them.
Thank you for your service to us who listen.

I loved His teaching. I went to Israel with him in a group of CCCM people. It was easy to be with him and he was so enlightening. See you in heaven David.

Still missing you, David. Yesterday I was cleaning and found a bear that you gave me and told me how special I was to you on the card. Made me miss you more. Love you and will see you on the other side. Take care of Mom and all that have passed before us. ❤

Dear Papa Bear, You shined the light that showed us the way. Always kind, compassionate, and super smart. Your courage, perseverance, and strength mentored all those who knew you especially our precious family. You walked tall and ventured west and made a wonderful life for us, then thoughtfully, you returned to your roots once your work was complete. Your full circle exemplifies an accomplished and unselfish life. Rest now Dad as you sit at the right hand of God the Father. All our love to you.

Dave (aka Salty) & I first met in Reno at a Navy Reunion, what a trip! I truly enjoyed meeting & knowing Salty. It was mine & my wife's honor to be able to introduce Salty to Pastor Hagee of Cornerstone Church. A true moment for Dave. I enjoyed sharing e-mails with him and we shared a lot of our hearts with one another. I will truly miss him.
Salty, I know you are in the Best Hands now, rest my Brother, my Comrade in Arms, my friend; rest now.
