Years later I still talk about him so much. I just got done talking about him to my coworker and sharing many incredible memories I have of my time with him. Miss him all of the time. Maybe the single-most influential person in my life. Love you Papa

Farewell, Captain! When I was a callow youth, you taught me leadership. Your presence on the bridge, with your knowledge and your calm wisdom, was as reassuring as a father's hand on my shoulders when I was a young OOD on the bridge of Biddle, and the nights were dark and stormy, so long ago. May you sail, forever free, the boundless oceans of heaven!

I am sorry to hear of CAPT Hock's passing. He was the first CO on my first ship, USS BIDDLE, and I learned a lot from him. I will always remember the twinkle in his eye and how he taught a young Ensign attention to detail.

Rod Sanders

I am sorry to hear of the Captain's passing. He was my CO on the Biddle and always had a smile and never a negative thing to say. He was an Awesome Leader
