Mr. Hobby was a dear, dear man.  My deepest sympathy to his wife, Ruth, daughters Jeanette, Jo, Laurie, Robin and their families.  God bless you all

Our deepest sympathy to Ruth, Jeanette, Jo,Laurie and Robin, and family.  Jack was one of the most wonderful people I had ever met in my life.  He was always there when my family needed him, baptisms, funerals,and even my parents 50th Anniversary wedding.  He was like a dad to my and he will be missed by all.....I loved him so..

I remember meeting, Brother Jack Hobby, back in the late 50's, while he was visiting at The, Titusville Church of Christ. I was only a teen-ager at the time. But,I'll always remember, how sweet and kind he was to everyone. After he and Ruth moved to, Port St. John, and he became the preacher for The, Titusville Church of Christ, he baptized our daughter. He will surely be missed. Not only was he a good school teacher, also a good teacher of the Bible. 
Our thoughts and Prayers go with his love ones. Ruth, Jeanette, Jo, Laurie & Robin and all thier family's. 
My deepest sympathy to all the Hobby family.
Love, 
Pat Sledd

Mr. Hobby was a friend and teacher to my late father, Ron Likon Cocoa High class of 59. I met him on several occasion and knew instantly why many called him friend. I know that Mr. Hobby's life benevolently affected many of the students that he taught, both in school, and in church. My father thought very highly of Mr. Hobby and his passing is a sad day here on earth but a joyous one in heaven. My deepest sympathies to his wife and extended family, he was loved by many.

Mr. Hobby was a special teacher and friend. He performed our wedding ceremony on December 1, 1961. We were married for 49 years when Jim passed away. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

When my family moved to Florida in 1965, we attended the church on Plumosa St. in Merritt Isaland, FL. Brother Hobby and his family welcomed us warmly. Since we didn't know anyone, it meant so much. Brother Hobby was a wonderful preacher of the gospel. He and his family influenced my life in so many ways. The girls and I enjoyed many happy times growing up. I am so grateful for all of them. Brother Hobby was such a kind, sweet, humble man. He set a wonderful example for all of us. I am so thankful to God for the blessing of knowing Brother Hobby and his wonderful family. They are all so special to me. My thoughts and prayers are with them all as they go through this difficult time.

Warm, personal greeting to sister Hobby and her family in the death of Jack. We knew Jack, many years ago--more years than we want to admit. The saints in San Bernardino CA send our love to you all, in Christ Jesus. We grieve, but not as those who have no hope.

Our deepest sympathies to the family..Mr. Hobby was my 11th grade English teacher in 57-58..he was a gifted teacher and my friend Ann and I used to skip our church often on Sundays to attend Mr. Hobby's church on Merritt Island..he had a profound influence on me and the biblical truths he taught us remained with me thorough out my life..my friend Ann  established a mission in Costa Rico over 20 years ago ministering to the people there  and I know his impact on her life was profound..as we have often talked about what Mr. Hobby meant to us over the years..we were always glad to talk with him when ever he came to any of our reunions.  May you be comforted by the knowledge that he is now safely at home in  loving peace and joy of eternal rest with  our LORD and Savior JESUS CHRIST..

Jack and my father, Byron Conley, were close friends, and Jack preached Daddy's funeral.  Mother is in a nursing home in Trenton and I will tell her about his passing tomorrow.  Our deptest sympathy to his family and we send our love.   Louetta Conley Moore

Our deepest sympathy to the family of Jack.  He was a great man of God and taught us many things about Christ.  May the hand of God lay upon your hearts and heal the pain.  We love you Jack and will miss you.  Ruth and children, and granchildren have our prayers and love.

 I have known Jack since I was 12 when my mother and I first moved to Florida from Tulsa, OK in 1968. At the time, Jack was preaching at Plumosa Street congregation in Merritt Island, FL. We had attended the congregation in Tulsa where Jack's father was an elder. 

I remember Jack teaching my High School Bible class in his office behind the church building on Sunday mornings. That was the first time I heard how to remember the difference between the Pharisees and the Sadducees . "The Pharisees believe in the resurrection. That's fare-u-see. The Sadducees don't believe in the resurrection. That's sad-u-see." To this day, I can still picture brother Hobby giving us that reminder. Jack also invited me to preach my very first sermon at Pumosa Street.

Later, when I was studying Bible at Florida College, Jack convinced the elders at Conway, AR where he was preaching, to invite me to work with them one summer. I learned so much from Jack that summer. He had me over to their house for quite a few of Ruth's wonderful meals. We went to the hospitals visiting people who had identified themselves with the "church of Christ" when they signed in. I was always amazed at how well Jack was able to strike up a conversation with anyone, no one was a stranger with Jack. Everyone loved him.

When my late wife and I married, there was no doubt who I wanted to perform the wedding. When my wife passed away, there was no doubt who I wanted to perform her funeral. No one had a way with words the way Jack Hobby did.

Brother Jack Hobby was always a great Christian example and help. He will always have a special place in my heart!

In loving memory of a very special man of God!    My deepest sympathy to Ruth, Jeanette, Jo, Robin and their families during this time of grief.  May our Father in Heaven comfort you during the days and weeks ahead.
In Christian love,  Marian Whitman
