The following is from the pamphlet of Hoke's Memorial Service, edited and with supplementary data:
Hoke was born John Hoke Howell, Jr., on August 27, 1929 in the small town of Sumner, Georgia to Dr. & Mrs. John Hoke Howell, Sr. By 1930, Hoke, his mother Allene Elizabeth and his father resided in Atlanta, Fulton, Georgia and by 1932 the family resided in Anderson, South Carolina where his only sibling, Mary Marjorie "Marjie", was born and where his father was a dentist. Hoke attended Anderson High School where he was known as "Hokey," and was in the Allied Youth Club, "B" Team Basketball and was a Yellow Jacket, '46. Hoke attended Anderson College, South Carolina where, in 1949, he was president of Delta Psi Omega (honor society for participants in collegiate theatre) and in 1950 was the sophomore representative to the student government. Anderson was also where he met his future wife. Despite moving away in about 1950, Anderson was always "home." He was honored in 1988 with the Anderson College Alumni Achievement Award.
After college, Hoke served in the United States Navy from 1950-1954 and was stationed aboard the aircraft carrier USS Bennington. Following his military service, in 1954, Hoke and his wife moved to New York so that Hoke could attend the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and pursue a career in acting. His first major breakthrough appearance on Broadway was as Henry Whipple in “Make a Million” in 1958. In 1961 they relocated to Los Angeles to further pursue Hoke's film and TV career with Hoke landing minor roles in "The Hustler" (1961) and "Splendor in the Grass" (1961). Hoke, his wife and "the boys" finally settled in Burbank where Hoke lived for over 35 years. Hoke died May 9, 1997 at St Joseph Medical Center in Burbank as a result of complications associated with liver cancer.
Hoke's passion for acting was unsurpassed. He made his Broadway debut in Make a Million and from that day forward, his credits read like a list of all-time favorites including: The Andy Griffith Show, The Jack Benny Show, Bonanza, The Brady Bunch, Dennis the Menace, General Hospital, Knot's Landing, Happy Days, Lost in Space, The Munsters, Wonder Years, High Incident, Promised Land, Jag and over 200 other titles. He was also a series regular on Here Come the Brides. Recent film credits include: Another 48 Hours, Far and Away, Geronimo and Merchants of Death (which he wrote and produced with close friends, Ross and Claire Hagen). Hoke was also a superior screenwriter, as dear friend and writing partner Rance Howard can attest.
Hoke's heart never really left Anderson, South Carolina. He maintained close friendships with childhood friends and one day he hoped to return for good. Hoke will be missed dearly... as a father, as a grandfather, and as a friend to many. But someday when you need it most--and expect it least--you'll turn on the television and he'll be there. That would make him happy.
"Rance Howard gave the eulogy and ended by suggesting a standing ovation which seemed appropriate - Hoke got a good send off." - from a note to their aunt from Hoke's sister, Marjorie Howell Pickens enclosed with the pamphlet.
