The Hoffman family is in our thoughts and prayers on the passing of Mr. Hoffman , Husband , Father, Grandfather and Great Grandfather. I have not seen many of the Hoffman family in many years. I do  remember the times I did have many years ago on their farm with Wayne and Keith.Your family always welcomed me into your home and shared a meal and there was always laughter. The one thing that Mr.& Mrs Hoffman  did teach me with commitment to family and friends.

 

THank you and God bless

Our hearts go out to our extended family...we are so grateful to have known Don (we always called him Mr. Hoffman out of respect) and have many happy memories at the Hoffman farm and being able to spend time at the Hoffman Family Christmas or Thanksgiving.
