Gordon Joseph Hoffman

Wendy, I was thinking of you and Gordy the other day and decided to look you up. I am sad to hear of Gordy's death. I don't know if you remember me, but we took chemistry together at night at Los Alamos, when you were still dating. I used to spend the night with you guys sometimes. May God bless you always, your friend, Paula (Richey) Dupre

Wendy,
Even though I moved away, now and then I check the Monitor. Just now I read the sad news about your husband. I felt a special "kinship" because of our last names. It was always a pleasure to speak with both/either of you. I am so sorry.

Dear Wendy, Nick and Angela: Was just looking at the Los Alamos Monitor (a nostalgic thing I regularly do with the other papers I've worked at) and came across this sad news. Wendy, I treasure our three years working together, side by side, and how you mentored me -- and how fondly you spoke of Gordon and your children. And how you recounted his love of, and skill at, ice hockey. Little did I know then that Celeste's and my future son, Tanner, now 17, would be so passionate about a game I had...

Dear Wendy, Angela, Nick, and family,

I was so sorry to learn of your loss. Gordon was a wonderfully loving, caring person whom we will all miss. He was a gentle, generous source of personal support when Jack died, for which I will always be grateful.
You are all in our prayers.
Love,
Sharon and Bill Eklund and Hannah and Alyssa

I was one of the older kids at St. Joseph's School in Hopkins Mn. when Fr. Hoffman came in and energized the whole place! He was the coolest priest ever, tooling around in his black Karmann Ghia. I always wondered where he'd gone to and was glad to find out he'd touched so many lives after leaving St. Joe's.

He really was a charismatic guy back in the day. RIP, Gordy Hoffman, and condolences to his family and friends.

We are sorry to hear about your loss - I remember Gordy at those Tuesday night 'fun runs', 'walking the dogs' on his bicycle (at least once) and his endless endeavors around the back yard, even one with a chainsaw in trees. He certainly lived life fully and energized those around him. We are better for having known him. May God bless.

Dear Wendy, Nick and Angela,
I am so sorry for your great loss and for the depth of the grief you are feeling with Gordy's passing. I have been reading the messages left on this site, and can see what a wonderful person he was, not just to you, his beloved family, but to a wide community of friends. We continue to remember all of you in our prayers. Love from, Linda and Dale.

Hoffman Family,
We were very sorry to hear about Gordon's passing. We will continue to pray for your healing. God bless you all during this difficult time.

Dear Wendy, Nick and Angela,
Mary and I were greatly saddened when we heard of the passing of Gordon. What a great father, grandfather, husband, colleague and friend. He was such a supportive, encouraging and positive role model to all those who knew and worked with him. His love of sports, especially soccer and hockey, was legendary--biking was also another super feat I will never forget. All that was secondary to his love of family and all who knews him. I am certainly grateful for...
