I took Advanced Physiology in 2009 with Dr. Hochberg. I probably could not tell you much about the physiology I learned but I can vividly remember the great professor who taught it. I remember him writing equations on the board and having such a passion for what he was talking about. He broke the course down and made it “doable”. But what I remember most was the kind of person that I feel very lucky to have crossed paths with. He seemed so interested in “life” and talking about current events. At the time there was the H1NI pandemic. He would ask us questions on our thoughts about it and he would share his knowledge of it with the class. He made the class time so interesting. It was not only about the material but also about current events. I found him to be inspiring. I also remember him talking about his grandchildren. His love for them was very evident. I think Dr. Hochberg loved life and because of that he brought joy and kindness to the people around him. I will not forget Dr. Hochberg and am so thankful for the opportunity to have been a student of his. I will be graduating next month from Sunypoly and I will remember him as having been a positive roll model in my journey. My deepest sympathy to his family. He was an amazing person whose legacy will not be forgotten.
