Just out of Drexel University, I worked for him in Connersville, Indiana and at the Ren Cen when he Was President of Ford Aerospace in Detroit.  I was his Corporate Accounting Manager.  He was a very sharp and fair person.  One of my fondest memories of my 37 year career with Philco-Ford through Lockheed.  You are missed Mr. H.

I knew Hank from Plant 50 in Philadelphia.  I had a high regard for him  because of the respect he showed his employees.  My prayers go out to his family.

Henry was a good man and a great person! I worked with him for many years at Philco and Ford Aerospace.

I always remember "Hank" best when Frank Cohen at Philco-Ford would say to him(after he started climbing the corporate ladder)---"Hank, is it lonely at the top?" Mr. Hockeimer would give him a poke and reply--Oh, you, Frank!".  Believe me, he was never lonely because he was anchored in humility.  Rest in peace, Hank

Mr. Hockheimer will be missed by all who had the good fortune to know him.  He made life interesting and was such a nice man.  I worked with Mr. Hockheimer at WORLDNET TV.

I am a retired employee of Philco and Ford Aerospace and worked for the Company during Mr. Hockeimer;s tenure as one of our Company's leaders.  He was quite a man. He never forgot where he came from.  He insisted on eating with the employees in the Company cafeteria rather than with other Executives.  He was always cordial with his employees and once he met you, he always remembered your name.  When hs would go on Company field trips to other Company locations he liked to arrive unannounced so he could talk with any employee he encountered.  All of the emploees had the highest respect for Mr. Hockeimer for his outstanding and  caring leadership.  When I was in Iran during the fall of the Shah, you could expect a call in the morning from this wonderful man, inquiring how things were going and were all the employees safe.  He really cared for his fellow human beings. He will be missed by all who knew him.  He was one of a kind.  My thoughts go out to his surviving family. May God watch over you.  You were blessed to have this wonderful man as your guiding light.

May the love of those around you help you through the days ahead.  Hold tight to cherished memories.....Lean on friends for support.....And cling to God's word, the Bible, for strength and comfort.

He was a unique warm person.I will always cherish working with him.
