Dear Ruth and Hotz family. It’s now 2023 and I’m visiting my mother in hospital. We were talking about our doctors when I was younger. Dr Hotz was mine and I always remember how awesome he was. I loved his bowties. Such fond memories.
Sending my love and prayers. Not sure if you see this but warmed my heart to think about him again.
Dear Susan & Family
Please accept my sincerest condolences on the passing of your father.
May you find comfort in your treasure chest of beautiful memories.
Dear Ruth and the entire Hotz family,
As a child, Harry was always a reassuring and loving presence in my life, so much so that, when I had my own children, there was no question that I would choose him as my children’s pediatrician. My four daughters regard him with the same affection as my sisters and I did as children. I always loved running into Harry and Ruth at community events, and he always greeted me just as warmly as he did throughout my life. I am so sorry for your loss, but am sure that you will be comforted by your wonderful memories and the regard in which he was seen by generations of Hamiltonians. May you know no more sorrow.
Dear Ruth, and Hotz family, I am so sad to hear of Dr. Hotz’s passing. I remember him with great fondness – he was our family doctor, and we all loved him very much. Sending my prayers and healing light to all of you, and hope you find comfort, support and love from family, friends and all the cherished memories of his amazing life.
Dear Ruth and Hotz Family,
Please accept our sincere condolences on the loss of your wonderful husband and father.
May his memory be a blessing to you all.
With Love,
Aaron and Helene Katz
Dear Ruth and Children and Family,
Dr.Hotz was a very special person. I liked him so much. My mother, Lillian, relied on him and had such confidence in him which she imparted to us. He was the epitome of a caring family doctor [pediatrician]. I remember him coming, with his black bag [just like the song], to see me and my sisters. In more recent years, I had the opportunity of seeing you and him at events at Beth Jacob and at a Negev dinner. He was a wonderful man. My sad condolences to you, your children and family and your nieces and nephews, too. His memory is already a blessing. His was a life well lived. Michaele-Sue
