Henry Hochstedler, 86, died Jan. 5, 2012 in Kalona.
Henry was born Jan. 30, 1925, in Kalona, Iowa, the son of Emmett and Annie(Yoder)Hochstedler. He spent most of his life in the Kalona area except for the years he gave to Civilian Public Service in Hills City, S.D., during WWII, promoting peace in a time of war. On Oct. 5, 1947, he married Beulah Hostetler in Hartville, Ohio. "The pleasure of having is in sharing," describes his heart. Henry farmed and owned and operated H&H Heating, Plumbing, and Air Conditioning for many years. He had a heart for missions and traveled all over the United States and Canada, providing in a material way for many mission families as well as contributing funds. He loved to read, and visit with people. These provided many hours of enjoyment-especially in his retirement years. He faithfully prayed for his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
