Betty & I wish to express our sense of loss on Harley’s passing. On the many occasions we met and talked with him, we were always impressed with his sincerity and humility. His contribution to Alberta and Canada was exemplary. As Flames fans, we are grateful for his role in establishing our team! To Becky & family, our thanks for a life well lived.

Dear Jeff and family,

Having worked for your family many many years ago, I remember meeting your father Harley. He is a very humble man despite his stature. My condolences to you and your family.

Dear Rebecca;

Becky we were so fortunate to learn, to know, work with, and travel with you and Harley! Yours was a a rich life together, and we were lucky to benefit. As time settles please let us know if a visit would be suitable.

Wishing you peace and comfort during this, life’s ultimate challenge.

To my friend Paul,

What a gift you have Paul, to be your father’s son. He was a giant among us and I think we should all be humbled by his example. It is said that the essence of goodness is very simply, the neverending pursuit of all that is good. This will surely be your dad’s legacy Paul.

My heartfelt sympathy and prayers are with you and yours.

Your friend John from the Y

Hello, I never met your family member, however I am sure he was a great Person to give so much to help others. I am very sorry for your loss. I wanted to come to the service, however I am at the opposite end of Calgary and I won’t make it. I’ll say a prayer for Mr. Hotchkiss and your family. God bless

Dear Richard and family,

I wish to extend my sincere condolences to you and your family during this difficult time.

Respectfully,

Kendra Gowdy

I am so sorry at your loss.

I knew Harley from the Bank when I first met him in 1954. I left Calgary in 1957 and had not seen him until 1971 or 1972. We passed in the TD Bldg. on 7th. Ave. I’m not a very important person but Harley remembered me and spoke first. This might not seem important, but it made me feel so good that a man of his position took time to stop and talk to me. I’ll always remember his kind gesture.

To family and friends of Harley,

I didn’t have the privilege of knowing Harley, but will think of you all this June 29. One quote that gave me comfort, in grief, is that life does not end, that it is merely transformed. God bless you all and bring you gentle consolation, as time passes.

Dear Rebecca and family,

Harley’s passing is a terrible loss – he was a great individual. I always enjoyed working with him.

Dear Becky and Family,

Sis and I were saddened to hear from Ken Johannson of Harley’s passing. So many memories of our times together were brought back to us. For me personally, Harley was a hockey person I shall never forget. Serving on the Hall of Fame Board, our meetings at various hockey and social events and our times together at the Turin Winter Olympics are just a few of the times that come to mind. We send our prayers and thoughts to you, Becky, and your entire family. You can all be very proud to have had Harley in your lives – he did so much for so many.

We send our love,

Sis and Walter Bush

To Harley’s Family

Contributioons to Alberta were many. Thanks to Harley and your family for each one. Harley and I had our last visit at the Telus Centre, election night May 2, 2011. Our subject was health and politics. He will be missed.

On behalf of my mother Jean, and our entire family we pass our sincere condolences to your family. Harley was most gracious in helping Trevor and Geoff feel welcome during their time in Calgary. My mother Jean and late father (Merlyn) often reminisced of the wonderful hospitality Harley and Rebecca extended them on their visit in the 70s. Harley (and your entire family) touched many lives in a most positive way.

Dear Hotchkiss Family,

Peter & I would like to express our heartfelt condolences to you for the loss of your husband, father and friend. He was a great and humble man, who has left a far reaching imprint in his community and beyond. As wonderful as his contributions to hockey have been, I believe his (and Becky and Brenda) support and vision with the Hotchkiss Brain Institute resonates as his most enduring legacy.

Our years have reflected a remarkable period in history, to which Harley, you and Family made major contributions.

Harley’s many projects were bona fide, constructive and successful, made with perception, judgment and humor – which you were a part of. Our world is better thereby.

The extent of our relationship has been a pleasure and rewarding for us. May God hold Harley, you and Family in The Palm of His Hand.

Harley will be greatly missed but his legacy will live on to remind future generations of the impact that one life lived well can make. Harley was a great friend to the Prostate Cancer Centre and was actively involved in raising awareness and support for the fight against prostate cancer. Harley, you will be missed.

From all of us at Honens we send our condolences to the family of Harley Hotchkiss.

Harley will be remembered for his great generosity to individuals and organizations. Calgary and each of us are richer because of the life that he lived.

To John and Joan and family. It has been many years since we have seen each other, but at this sad time I wanted to convey my heartfelt sympathy to you and your family John. I never did meet your Dad, but he must have been a wonderful person otherwise he would not have raised such a wonderful man as yourself.

Take care and God Bless you and all your Family.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Becky and all of Harley’s family in this time of loss. I have relied on Harley’s council for 30+ years! He was a good friend and an absolutely wonderful man. We share in your grief in Bartow Florida.

Dear Becky & Family: I was saddened to hear of Harley’s passing. Although I did not know Harley or the family well, he was such a treasured friend of my Uncle “Doc”, that I felt that I knew all of you well. I will never forget his kind words to me when my mother, Dorothy Hamilton (Seaman) passed away a few years ago. His was definitely a life well lived and your memories will be vast and rich. Please know that we are thinking of you.

Heather (Hamilton) Brenneman & Family

Remembering early neighbourly ties and honouring the memory of a man who lived life to the fullest and set an example of family and community living at its best. Our condolences to the Hotchkiss clan from all the Slaghts.

it was our great pleasure to meet Mr and Mrs Hotchkiss and experience the true depth of character that beamed from him. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.

I will always remember uncle Harley & I hunting at Grandpa & Grandma Boyds.

We were shocked and saddened to here of Harley’s passing.On behalf of the Suncor aviation department we would like to offer our condolences to the Hotchkiss family. We will be thinking of you during this difficult time.

There are at least three things in life you should be a champion in… raise a good family with more love than you thought you had, support a great cause you believe in, and be a honorable person. My best friend Jeff’s father was a hall of famer in all three areas. And I suspect there are all lot more passions that he would add to the list.

My best to his great family. He left a legacy of honor and happiness and the world he touched is a better place because of Harley.

I think he would want to toast his success and his love for his family.

Cheers to all of the Hotchkiss family!

There will always be a Stanley Cup in my rear view mirror.

Aunt Becky… Uncle Harley will be missed, by you most especially. When I think about what the partnership of marriage is, it is you two who spring to mind. He has left quite a legacy – and mainly in your wonderful family. Grandma Carrie & Grandpa Morley would be proud. I’m glad to be part of his and your clan.

Dear Becky & Family:

Frances and I would like to express our deepest heartfelt Sympathy. We have shared many wonderful events over the years including family Weddings, Baptisms. and Anniversaries. As well as games at the Saddledome and times at Doc Seaman`s OH Ranch. We have his autograph book “Hat Trick. He scored many hat tricks in every field of endeavour. We appreciate his kindness to us as well as all he has done for Calgary and Canada. A true Gentleman indeed. His example of not waiting to contribute, but Act Now is an example to all. He was truly a “Now Man” and this country and the world is better because of all his efforts on behalf of others.

Our Love and Sympathy to the family and his wide circle of friends.

Don & Frances Mac Mahon.

Dear Hotchkiss Family:

On behalf of my family, I would like to express our deepest heartfelt sympathy. I personally knew Harley as a very young boy working on his farm in Aylmer, Ontario. He was a true gentleman, always friendly and easy to talk to. When I left Aylmer to study criminology at the University of Windsor, he wished me well and advised me to pursue my dreams. He was definitely a true class act, and will always be remembered as such. The work & dedication that he geared towards working with the Calgary Flames and his passion for hockey will also be remembered.

My respects and condolences to his family and friends.

Henry & Goldie Penner

I first like to thank The Late Mr. Hotchkiss for being instrumental in bringing the Altanta Flames, now My Beloved Calgary Flames to Calgary. Without the Calgary Flames I wouldn’t look forward to the winter season. Thank you…My thoughts and prayers to the family…RIP Mr. Hotchkiss!
