STANLEY HOFFMAN

1940 ~ 2016

It is with sadness that the family of Stanley Walter Hoffman, beloved husband of Marilyn, announce his passing on Wednesday, September 14, 2016, at the age of 75 years. Stan also leaves to cherish his memory their daughter, Pamela (Thomas) Burke and their children, Braden and Mason and his son, Dean (Marianne) Hoffman as well as numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. Stan was predeceased by his parents, Emil and Irene Hoffman. Stan was born on November 24, 1940 in Medicine Hat. He fell in love and married his high school sweetheart, Marilyn, on October 24, 1964. Stan was a hardworking, self employed man who loved the freedom of farm life and working outside doing farm maintenance and helping with the Water Co-op. He was a journeyman RV technician by trade. The industry took them to trade shows in Las Vegas, Hawaii and other places. As a caring, generous, friendly and creative person, Stan was always quick to lend a helping hand to those in need. Stan had quite the sense of humor with his quick wit and “one liners”, especially with his coffee buddies. He was a Moose member and a true Albertan. He enjoyed the little things in life… watching his grandsons play hockey and spending time with family. One of Stan’s most memorable occasions was the Alaskan cruise that he and Marilyn journeyed on and his surprise 70th birthday party. He will be deeply missed by his family and friends.
