Luke was always very pleasant a and answered all questions when asked. He was not pushy just told us what he had to offer and let us decide what was best for us. He even showed us pictures of baby Hazel when asked I had to beg him of course lol!
P.V., Customer
I found Luke to be very personable and always more than willing to find the information that I requested of him. If he didn't know the answer at the time he would either find it himself or ask someone in the know. From our first meeting with Luke my wife and I felt extremely comfortable with him and the way he conducted himself. We feel like they offered a great product and we couldn't be more pleased at this time.
Michael S., customer since 2014
Luke I very much appreciate your hands on approach in dealing with clients. It makes me feel that you have a real concern for those you serve. I look forward to the yearly visits for my medicare updates and renewals. I also feel confident that should some unforseen issue arise where I needed assistance I feel you would have a genuine concern in helping me getting it resolved. Also when my wife reaches 65 you will have another added customer.

Everything in the process was done correctly. The personal contact from John and Luke sets them apart from all of the recorded responses of the other insurance agencies. There is a prompt response for any question.
J.B., Customer
I was just glad to hear about the John Hancock long term care/life Insurance policy they offer. My husband had complained for years trying to get me to invest in stocks, but I refused. Boy was he shocked when I immediately decided to sock some away in this policy. Now he has nothing more to complain about!

Always in touch. No pressure, just advice!

We are so pleased with everyone at Sam's Hockaday. We feel like we always get the best customer service and that you are always concerned about what is best for us as well as our investments. Thank you for everything.

I love the competitive prices you were able to secure for me on both the drugs and supplemental health policies. Also for the first time in about 3 years I am able to use some recommended medicine from my dermatologist that I was unable to recieve with the other policy . Thanks for the great effort. Larry

Sams/Hockaday employees have been very courteous and professional.
L.G., Customer
You come to a place in life that you need professional help with such things as life and health insurance. We have had Luke Hockaday as our Agent since he first started with Sams/Hockaday, and we really like the way he can call these many Insurance Companies and get quick results. He is very professional, yet he has a neat sense of humor that goes a long way. If you need the same help that we depend on, just call Luke @ 217-433-9214 and tell him Janet Jackson sent you!
J.J., Customer
You helped me find the best policy to fit my needs at a very affordable price!
J.U., Customer
I did not have to read and look through a bunch of different insurance policies to find a sup. policy. Luke took care of it for me.
G.B., Customer
When I call my agent, Luke Hockaday, I always get a prompt response. There is no waiting a day or two to hear back. The office is always very helpful and courteous. In this day of poor customer service it is refreshing to have an agent and staff that care about my concerns.
D.C., Customer
