Jim lived life to the full. We were priveleged to share a long and lasting friendship with him, Ellen and Don. We shared amazing adventures and loved his zest for life and living. We are so very saddened by his passing. Love and deepest sympathy to Ellen, Don and the extended Hoffman family.

We are deeply saddened to hear this. Jim was a colleague of ours in the Dept. of Geology at EWU.

Jim was a very eager, enthusiastic and sophisticated traveller, I had the good fortune to share some wine and whiskey explorations with him and remember our journeys together as fondly as I remember Jim. I will toast the memory of an erudite drinker with wine, whiskey and stories to honour his memory. I send the condolences on behalf of many Irish and Spanish friends to Ellen and Don,

Ellen and family,
Jim was one of our favorite people and someone who we looked up to. A wonderful legacy Jim left. So sad. Cheers to Jim.
