Arthur "Artie" Allen Hoch

Arthur “Artie” Allen Hoch, 70, of Pennsburg, PA, passed away on April 22, 2025, at St. Luke’s Upper Bucks Hospital. Born in Quakertown, Artie was the son of the late Arthur Jacob Hoch and the late Grace Jane (Bittorf) Hoch.

Artie attended Quakertown High School and graduated in 1973. After High School, Artie started his working career. He began working at Ametek US Gage as a machinist and enjoyed it so much he remained there for 15 years. He also worked at Quakertown Christian School and eventually retired from Young’s Tire and Automotive in 2020.

Artie enjoyed his retirement spending time with his family. His grandchildren love playing pranks on him. His response was always, “you jerk”. Over the summer, you could find him at a local car show or fishing. He also enjoyed hunting and there was always a good story behind how he shot it.

Above all else, Artie loved his family deeply and cherished the time spent with them.

Artie will be dearly missed by his wife, Jacqueline, together they shared 46 loving years of marriage; his children, Jessica Hoch and A Jay Hoch (Stephanie); his grandchildren, Tyler, Chloe, and Keith, Amara, and Sophia; his sibling, Sue Ryales (Wife of the late Joseph Ryales). Artie is predeceased in death by his parents.
