My sincere sympathy to the Kenneth Hoffman family. You are in my thoughts and prayers. From the: Robert Rouse Family. 04/24/2010
We express our sincere sympathies to Patricia and Ken’s children, grandchildren, and siblings. We only met Kenneth briefly, but as friends of Tom and Diane, we know that the type of people they are reflects favorably on Kenneth as a father, father-in-law, and grandfather. May God’s grace sustain you all through this time of mourning and reveal to you the many joys and positive experiences you have enjoyed with Ken and as a result of Ken.
It was always nice to see Diane’s dad at the fair and other school activities. Our sympathy to the family. We are thinking about you.
Dear Pat, I’m so very sorry for your loss. Kenny was quite a guy and yes, we will always remember that smile and his gentle ways. We often talk of the time we met you in Missouri and what a fun evening we had talking. We all are better people for knowing Kenny. I know how difficult these days are for you, know that you are in my special thoughts. With sympathy, Annamae
