Ray Williams, past president of the Colonial Coin Collectors Club writes:

Al Hoch started The Colonial Newsletter and Jim took it over shortly after its founding. He was instrumental in promoting colonial research as editor of CNL for decades. I hope that future generations of colonial collectors remember him for all the knowledge we have due to his dedication, research and selfless hard work.
