Eric Hoch Obituary

We are sad to learn of Eric's death. He will always be in our hearts. The last time we saw Eric was at the 818 with his mom. He was the same Eric we will always remember. Love Mickey(Firstenberger) & Satch/Jerry Menkhoff

To Eric's Family and Friends,
I knew Eric (Hochie) from Chud's. The "GANG" always hung around together. We had such good times. Well, now it seems most of the "GANG" is hanging in heaven. I'm sure there is one heck of a party going on up there! He will be missed by all that knew him! He was a HOOT! So, R.I.P. my dear friend and God's speed! Tell the "GANG" GO BROWNS!!

June, Greg and Brian
My prayers are with you. In this time of sorrow, I choose to remember all the good times with Eric. He will be missed.

I wish there are words to express my loss for a great friend and coworker. At work, Eric's fingerprints are all over the Sandusky County Sanitary Engineer's office with his 30 years of full time work and another 10 plus years of part time work. We will miss his expertise, experience and the ability to lighten the mood when work would become overwhelming (whether it was the latest remote helicopter or a motorized Browns cooler)!

After 16 Fantasy Football seasons, we (Ned McCormick, Eric and I) decided to end the Sewer Rats this last year after much discussion. We went out on top winning the last two years in HFFL. Must of the other years we finished in the Top 4 and will be the source of many great memories. Thank you Eric for inviting Ned and I to be a part of the Mighty Sewer Rats!

I'll never forget all you did for me and especially for matching me up with my wife Bridget! You opened my eyes and knew that Bridget and I were meant for each other!

Thanks for being a part of my life for the last 18 years!

Steve (Sewer Rats Forever!)

Godspeed Eric!

I have great memories of playing backyard football and baseball with Eric and his brothers when we were young--cousin Bill

R.I.P Eric, I remember the many good times of working with you and coming over to your house to root for the Browns and Indians. You were a good friend and also very supportive of me during my troubled times. I have nothing but good memories of you. Thank you for being a good friend.

Eric helped me through a rough time, he let me move in with him years ago.
He was a joy to be around very happy go lucky not a care in the world.
Eric called me Tuesday night, he said he was doing ok. When we ended our conversation I told him I loved him. I could tell he smiled and laughed. He said I love you too Erica he studered I mean Bridget. :') I find peace knowing he knew he was so loved!
Alison had asked if any of E's friends would be able to sit with Eric on Thursday morning. I told her I could. Wednesday night I sleep restless woke up from a dream that I was holding Eric's hand and told him if he needed to go to go. It was ok. When I got to Ali's house she came out telling me he may have passed she could not wake him. I sat with her until Ems, Daniel and hospice came.

Eric you are forever in my heart!!!

Such sad, shocking news. Eric was in an online football pool with me and he was fun to compete with and we poked at each other. I know you don't know me, but Eric was a fun person to know. He touched lives. I offer my condolences and deepest sympathies to the family. May you feel the comfort of God in this time of sadness. You will be missed, Eric. Maybe you can give some pointers to your Browns from a different view. =)

Casey, my sympathy to you and your family. Losing your dad is one of the deepest sorrows. When I happen to be on Liberty St., I think of you and wonder what life adventures my brilliant fourth grade student at Stamm has had over the years. Best Wishes, Grace Clulow

Alison and the rest of the Hoch family, So sorry to hear of your dad's passing. Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.

Prayers and hugs
