I just ran across this in (2024). It’s truly been a blessing to have him as an amazing doctor. He was my doctor when I was a child and never forgot him. I’m 32 years  old now and I can remember him going to his doctor office. He always smiled and gave words of encouragement for so many. I will never forget. Rest In Paradise!! Prayers to the family!

I was unaware of Dr. Boc's passing. He was an amazing pediatrician who I have always held in high regard. He did everything in his power to keep me healthy through childhood, even while navigating my serious fear of needles. As a now adult working in healthcare, I am much more aware of the sacrifice and passion he put into his work.  He is missed by many, and I pray he is resting peacefully knowing the impact he made on the world for the next generation.

I did not know Dr. Boc had passed away.  He was the pediatrician for all 5 of my kids.  He was a wonderful Dr. that went above and beyond the call of duty.  He will be missed and my children loved him and coming to his office.  RIL Dr. Boc.

I had no idea that my favorite and only Doctor I had growing up past. I use to love coming to his office watching pbs while waiting to be seen. His girls were always so nice and kind to me. I’m wish he had the chance to meet my girls, they would of loved him. 

Happy Father’s Day, Dad!
Thinking of and praying for you!

Happy Father's Day!  Keeping you close in our hearts forever.

Prayers for the entire Boc family.  I know he will be very much missed! He was a GREAT Dr! I am 34, and he remembered me still when my nieces were there.  I remember when he would walk and sometimes whistle, and you knew he was coming! No one is better than he was.

Frannie Armstrong and Family,Cahokia Il

My sincere sympathy to your family.  My kids loved Dr. Boc when they were small.  They didn't want to go to a different doctor when they were too old to see a pediatrician.

I am so sorry for your loss. I worked for Dr. Boc for several years.  He was a great pediatrician and boss.  I will keep your family in my prayers.

Dad,

Thank you for being my dad.  You are my hero.  We miss you so much, and most importantly, we love you always. You are in our hearts forever.

Love, Gigi

I have no words to express my family's and my sinceriest gratitude and feeling of shared loss.  Dr. Boc was as much a part of our family as I am, he was my older brothers' doctor, mine, my sisters', and all three of our children have seen him since birth.  I am sincerly and udderly shocked by his passing and hope that you all enjoy the warmth and joy  that comes with knowing he touched so may lives in a positive way.  We feel your loss and greive with you and for you.  The Bryant Family (Cahokia,IL)

We will sadly miss you...Crystal Dickerson,Dinah Dickerson, Khalil Williams, Kansas Williams, & Mr. Tyree King,,,You were so humble and always took the time to answer our concerns & questions!! {;_;}

The residents, parents and kids of cahokia have suffered a great loss. The void left by the loss of Dr. Boc will NEVER be filled. Dr. Boc was a very caring, loving, and understanding man- not to mention a very knowledgable pediatrician. Dr. Boc was never to busy to listen to your concerns and always made you feel at ease with his great smile. My family and I feel honored and priviledged to have had an opportunity to know him. We are praying for the entire Boc Family, that you will be wrapped in our Saviors loving arms and comforted at this time of loss.

My heart was saddened to hear about Dr. Boc. He was my Dr. as a child and was also my girl's Dr. Even after over 12 years of not seeing him when I took my boyfriends daughters to see him he remembered me and my girls. Always asked how everyone was doing, every time. I am so sorry for your loss. Just know that he was a great Dr. and will be missed dearly.

Our condolences to the Boc family. You are in our hearts and prayers. When we were told of Dr. Boc's passing our brain couldn't even process that. He was my doctor when I was a child. So when my husband and I had children we couldn't think of a better doctor to take them to. Every time our children weren't feeling well all we had to do was call and we would hear "Sure bring them on in".  You can't ask for a better doctor than that and his daughters are so wonderful and sweet. We will always remember Dr. Boc saving our oldest son's life. Dr. Boc told us to rush our son straight to Cardinal Glennon's ER. He didn't gamble with our son's life. Meningitis was caught at its early stage and treated. The ER doctor & nurse said it was a good thing we got him there as soon as we did. It saved our son's life. We will always remember Dr. Boc and his family will forever stay in our hearts and prayers.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Boc family. We are deeply sorry for your loss.

I'm so sorry to hear about Dr. Boc's passing. He was a wonderful man who always cared so much about his patients. Although I myself have not seen him since I was little, I remember him always having a smile on his face. He would always sooth my Mom's worries when she would call him while I was sick. He was truly a very wonderful man. My heart goes out to his family and friends. He will be deeply missed!

Dr Boc was an amazing doctor!  i had him as a child and i remember going as a kid once a week and getting an allergy shot. i would sit in the waiting room for 20 minutes afterwards and he would come out and check it to make sure there wasn't a reaction. he would come out and say "its ok, its ok". i stopped seeing him when i was 16 but he was an amazing dr to me and my sister jenette throughout childhood. i recently went back to get records for my niece and the place hadn't changed a bit! he's taking care of babies in heaven now!

My family and I are so sorry for the loss. Dr.Boc was a great man and someone that will be a memory in our lives forever. He was always there to help. May all your hearts be filled with all the great memories threw out the years.Knowing him for over 30 years, I can say I do have some great memories of him,as my physican and my girls. God bless you all, and we were all lucky to have known him.

Sixteen years ago I was introduced to the best pediatrician ever. My heart is saddened to know that I will have to search for someone to replace you. My children was in total shock when i broke the news to them. My daughter told me that she don't think that she want to go to the doctor anymore because know other doctor would understand her like you did. I am sure that there is some children in heaven that needs your assistance now. You will truly be missed by many. We will never forget the tender care that you gave our children. Love Kimmi, Damishia, Jeremiah & Elijah Until we meet again!!! We love you and we miss you already!!!!

Dad, you are the best.  I love you and miss you.  Thanks for your unconditional love, support and guidance all of my life.  You led by example.   I will always remember your love for God and cherish the love you showered over us.  You were one of a kind.

I always talk about the wonderful dr I had with my 3 children. Dr Boc was the best! Always there anytime you needed him at anytime of the day. I have even dropped in his office with a sick kids and he would see them on the spot. He had a true passion for children and no man was ever as patient with children as him. I never ever heard him raise his voice. A gentle loving tender care to newborns.We will truly remember him always. He had left a legend behind that shows what a true loving man of God is. Some day we will meet again. See you later DR. Boc!

We will miss our good neighbor, Doc Boc.  Rest in peace!
