Allan Sachs Hoffman

I knew he is a professor but I never knew he is such an outstanding scientist with remarkable achievements. In my mind he is an easy-going elder, a wise and humorous gentleman, an awesome dad and grandpa, a helpful friend. It's my honor to know such a great person. Although he is no longer with us, we will keep his memory in our hearts.

I didn't know Mr. Hoffman well, but very much enjoyed the few times I had with him, Susan, Lisa & Bill, & their children, John Saul & Anna. He had a wonderful family, all of whom will miss him terribly in their own lives. Sending hugs & condolences to his family & all whose lives he brightened.

Love you always my dearest, RIP and keep on smiling!

My condolences for Allan´s family.

What a great life, and a great man! Thanks for writing and sharing his amazing life story... he will be greatly missed and fondly remembered!
