Warren Joseph Hockenos FATHER, TEACHER, FRIEND SARATOGA SPRINGS, NY - Professor Warren Joseph Hockenos of Ludlow Street died peacefully at home on December 13, 2010. He valiantly and defiantly battled a progressive decline from Parkinsons disease for over ten years, and more recently, the devastating effects of Parkinsons disease dementia. He was born December 16, 1930, in Rochester, NY, the only child of Joseph and Isabelle Donals Hockenos. He graduated from Aquinas Institute in Rochester, spent a year at Oblates of Mary Immaculate seminary in Newburgh, and completed his undergraduate education at Hobart College. In the midst of graduate studies, he enlisted in the United States Army, where he served as an intelligence clerk in West Germany from 1954 to 1956. He later received his Ph. D. in philosophy from Boston University. In 1960, he married Anne Crookall, and in 1962 he moved to Saratoga Springs to begin his teaching career at Skidmore College. He taught philosophy courses at Skidmore for thirty years. During retirement he continued to read with great enthusiasm in the areas of philosophy and economics and relished lively discussions with his friends and former colleagues. While still teaching, Professor Hockenos and his family lived for extended periods in Europe. He was a political progressive who actively supported an array of movements and campaigns that promoted social justice, racial equality, the environment, and nonviolence. In 1997, he went to the city of Tuzla in Bosnia and Herzegovina as a monitor in Bosnias first postwar elections. Also in retirement he pursued activities connected with his love of the out of doors, which included hiking, birding, cycling, cross country skiing, and speed skating. He enjoyed contemplative pursuits as well, reading poetry and listening to live broadcasts of opera on public radio. He is survived by his wife, Anne, and their three sons and daughters-in-law: Paul Hockenos and Jenni Winterhagen of Berlin, Germany, Timothy Hockenos and Ilene Oba of San Francisco, and Matthew Hockenos and Alexandra Chang of Round Lake; and as well by grandsons Oscar Hockenos-Chang and Johan Winterhagen-Hockenos. Other survivors include cousins Stanley Donals, Robert Hockenos, and Richard Hockenos; sister-in-law Mary Crookall Hudson; and countless friends.
