In Loving Memory of
(CECIL) ALLAN HOFFMAN
December 3, 1934 - November 5, 2010

With deep sadness the Hoffman family announces the death of Allan Hoffman on Friday, November 5, 2010. Allan passed away peacefully in the arms of his loving wife surrounded by all of his children.

Foremost in Allan's life was his love of the Bible and his willingness to share his beliefs with others, especially his family. Allan lived a full life and spent much of his time outdoors or driving a truck and never turned down the opportunity to go on a fishing trip. He was a man who enjoyed reading a good western novel, making his own wine, tending to his roses and cooking a great meal over a campfire. Allan was a family man who remained faithful to his personal convictions until the day of his death.

Allan Hoffman was born on December 3, 1934 in Foam Lake, Saskatchewan. On December 30, 1954 Allan married Margaret Barna and together they raised four children. Allan and Marg moved to Kamloops from Creston, B.C., in 1967. They enjoyed 55 years of married life together, facing life's challenges and rewards as a team. They witnessed the wedding of all their children and experienced the joy of becoming grandparents together.

Left to cherish memories of Allan are his loving wife Margaret and his four children Barbara (Keith), Clayton (Valerie), Pamela (Shaun), and Colin (Karla). He is also survived by his grandchildren: Ryan, Graham, and Lance; Marci and Brett; Cole and Lauren; and Dylan and Marshall; as well as four great grandchildren. Allan will also be fondly remembered by his brother Ray (Dorothy) Hoffman.

His brothers Neil and Gordon predeceased Allan.
Allan was truly the patriarch of his family and set an example for his children as to how to be a good son, husband, and father. Having him as a father was truly a blessing.

A Memorial Service will be held at 2:00 p.m. on November 12, 2010, at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses, 1985 Curlew Road, with long-time friend Brent Turner officiating.

In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice Home, 72 Whiteshield Cr., South, Kamloops, B.C., V2E 2S9
