My wife and I will surely miss seeing and talking to Mr. Hockman. We used to watch him from our backyard plowing and mowing his property. We often spoke with him when meeting at the local hardware or grocery store. We are so sorry to hear of Mr. Hockman's passing. He will be missed. Our Deepest Sympathy to the family. May he Rest in Peace.
