Anne, I now know why you've been in my thoughts. I am truly sorry for your loss, your husband was a great man, a very tolerant man (critters and all), and best of all, a man with a sense of humor. I hope you are finding comfort in the wonderful words I read in this guestbook.
It has been years, but I still wish you all the best and send you my heartfelt sympathy for your loss.
Sincerely, Patricia Whiddon

To the wife and family of Dr. Hocker,

It was only yesterday, that I found out about the passing of Dr. Hocker.

For almost 20 years, I knew him professionally. He was truly kindhearted, generous and caring. He will truly be missed.

He talked about his passion for fishing and the great outdoors. He spoke of his love for American history and how he enjoyed re-living it through reenactments.

I remember how happy he was to become a grandparent. Family was so important to him.

You are all very blessed and fortunate to have had him in your lives and I hope you find comfort in the memories of the special times you shared.

Very sincerely,

Sharon Hall

Dear Mrs. Hocker & family, My name is Michael Hall from Sterling, Va. I am a long time patient of Dr. Hocker. He has taken care of me since I was around 8 years old and now I am in my 40's. Words can not express the sorrow that felt when I learned of his passing.
He and I shared an interest in the civil war and I was teasing him about the photo with him dressed in the south's uniform...I said to him that I didn't know if I wanted him to treat me or not. He asked why. I being an african american said. You're fighting for the wrong side. He got a kick out of that and we just laughed. I will miss him so very much. He was a wonderful man. You and your family have my deepest sympathy. God bless you for sharing him with me for all these years. You and your family will be in my prayers.

Dearest Anne
Allow me to convey to you and your family our sincere condolences for the loss of your Husband. In the hearts of all who knew George, his memory lives in our hearts. I learned of Georges death Monday from the office staff. There are no words that can truly express how sad my wife and I where when Sharon told us. Sharon and my wife cried and I stood there in shock. When we left I didn't say much, but when we got around the corner I pulled the car off the road and started to cry.
Your husband has been my doctor for seventeen years. I've seen doctors over the years but none like your husband. George was different, his easy going manor, his kindness, easy to talk to, never rushing to get you out, he made you feel you came to the right place for help. Even though I visited him every three months I looked forward to the visits just to see George and talk about fishing and new restaurants.

George was a special human being with a special ability to touch people inside. I can still remember one visit when I was waiting for George in his office to go over my blood results. George was outside on the front porch puffing on his pipe. After about five minutes I got up and knocked on the front porch door from inside his office. George came in and we both started laughing.

You have lost a great man and husband and your children have lost their father.

Anne, the sadness and your loss are felt by many. George may have left us, but those he touched for years to come will remember him.

You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
