George Ramon (Ray) Hoecherl

Together At Last 

Our loving father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend reunited with his bride of 58 years on July 9th, 2008.

 

He was born the first of four boys on April 21, 1929 in Salt Lake City, Utah to George and Ethel Hoecherl.  After a whirlwind courtship he married the love of his life, Verda Elaine Smith on November 29th 1947. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Salt Lake Temple.  He was devoted to his family and worked hard for them his whole life.   He served faithfully in many church callings and was a significant support to his wife in her lifelong work with handicapped youth.  He was a good man who taught us by example.  He loved to tell jokes and stories.  We love and miss you Pugsley. 

 

He is survived by his children T (Valerie), daughter-in-law Sally, Debi Ellis, Troy (Pam), Mindy (Patrick) Jones; 28 grandchildren; 41 great-grandchildren with 3 on the way; brother Lee (Patty).  In addition to his wife Verda he is preceded in death by his son Kirk; second wife Elizabeth; brothers Bill and Larry; and a great-grandson Cody.

 Funeral Services will be held on Monday, July 14th at 11:00 a.m. at the Meadowview Ward, 4575 West 5415 South, Kearns, with a viewing one hour prior to services. 

In Loving Memory

Debi, So sorry to read this today. Hope you are well. Jill is in SLC if you didn't know. Again I am sorry for your loss. Best wishes for you and your family, Greg Rolfe

You are such an awesome family. It was a priviledge to meet you and a tribute to George that he kept such good company and knew such wonderful people. I pray that the Lord blesses you through this. George is so proud of you all. I just know it. I will be praying for you in the coming months. Take care.

We will all miss Uncle Ray's sense of humor and funny jokes! He is probably cracking your mom and Kirk up in heaven as we speak ! Sorry we could not make it to the services- we all had to work. But, our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this difficult time. We love you guys!

Debi and Family, I readof your Dad's passing in the paper. I send my sympathy to you and all the family. He truly was a great man and a great friend to me. I'm sorry that I will be unable to attend services as I have family commitments at that same time. The Lord bless each of you with the comforter at this time. Marge A. Neves
