Not sure what to say?

I bowled on the same team with Tom and Gloria. Great guy!

I worked with Tom from 1968 through 1973 at McPherson Playground. It was my first teaching assignment and Tom modeled for me what it meant to be a good teacher. He was very hardworking and whenever I speak to any of our former students they tell me what a positive influence he had on them.
Please accept my condolences.

My wife Anita and I have found memories of both Gloria and Tom. It was our pleasure to take them to church on Sunday for about 5 to 6 years thru St Mary's Minister of Care Program. They were wonderful people and we will keep them in our prayers.

Our sincere condolences to their family.

Tom Hoffman taught me everything I know about sports. He also taught me respect and discipline. He was truly an inspiration and roll model for all of us who knew and played for him.

Uncle Tom you will be missed a lot. I always wanted to know what happened to the canvas ball we played with at Druce Lake. We always laughed and had fun. God Bless you. Always Judy A Karas

I always wondered what happen to you coach, you were my mentor, you taught me to be a good honest young man. I loved playing soft ball, football and table tennis with you. I remember you putting about 5-6 of us in your beetle and taking us to another playground to play softball. I really believe I'm a better man because of you..RIP coach.

UNCLE TOMMY WAS A WONDERFUL PERSON. HE WILL BE MISSED ! WE WERE VERY BLESSED TO HAVE HIM IN OUR LIVES. HE IS THE LAST OF THE HOFFMAN BROTHERS THAT WERE ALL SO MUCH PART OF OUR LIVES FOR ALL THESE YEARS.

GOD BLESS YOU KIRK AND FAMILY. HE IS WITH YOUR MOM NOW AND FREE OF ALL WORLDLY WORRIES, PAIN AND SUFFERING. I KNOW HE WILL BE WELCOMED WITH OPEN ARMS IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.

LOVE,
COUSIN DIANE AND DICK EARNISSE

Sorry for your loss. May the God of comfort help you doing this difficult time. Psalms 83 : 18.

RIP coach. You were a very big part of my life. You taught me respect and fairness and most of all people are equal. It didn't matter who was who that the respect for each of us was great. On a funny note he used to let a few of us girls into the BOYS room. One time he told me to be easy on the guys.lol
