Gary B., customer since 2012
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
The attention to detail and the calm and precise manner of your Representative Mr. Luke Hockaday was a pleasure as my not being in the insurance business it is so important that the Representative is attentive and caring and meeting all the customers concerns and needs not to mention matching the right product to the right customer's needs and Luke, Joyce and all the staff were very helpful and kind. It was a pleasure.
J. S., 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!
Customer since 2011
Staff is always friendly. Luke is very helpful in finding the best policy that works for us.
J.H., 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
You helped us make the best choices when we retired and turned 65 years old. And have followed up with us in the years since then trying to help us make better choices.

Luke is so helpful and makes sure he gets me the information I need in order to make the best decision.

Luke, you came along just at the right time when we had to choose our own insurance and you sold us on your easy going manner and the fact we had many choices in your company to choose from.
J. J., Customer
Luke is always willing to help us find the right insurance for our needs, whether it is life, health or long term care.
T.P., 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
To begin with you had a seminar explaining my options for healthcare. Then after I enrolled in one of your options you have continued to follow up with what you can do to make it better.
Customer since 2014
Luke is always concerned about you and your well being, not just about selling you a product but helping to meet your needs.
