William Hoffman

I met Dr Hoffman briefly. I-Was studying tax at the UOfH law library. I must have bought his West taxation, because it was with me when I arrived in Nassau Bahamas in 199 with no job or money to speak of. But, I managed to make a few million teaching and applying his domestic tax book with international tax books to over 1000 clients. The description of his tax writings by others is correct. A real scholar, and he will be remembered by me for a little nag time.

I took an accounting class from Professor Hoffman in the mid 80's at UH and he was a great professor. I specifically remember his humor. Especially the joke about coming home and feeling the warmth of the TV set...just to check up on the wife. God bless.

Bonnie,

Bill is clearly the most unforgetable man I have ever known. He was a real pioneer in our field. His wit and enthusiasm were constant sources of amazement to me. I tried to immitate both in my lectures but normally failed. He was always the mentor who shaped my academic career How he could tell jokes no one could get away with today!


I am very sorry to read of his passing.

Bonnie,

I am saddened to hear of Bill's death. I am at a loss for words for you other than to let you know you are in my prayers.

I was very blessed to have known Bill as my professor, as a mentor then friend and colleague. I particularly remember his funny stories he used in class to illustrate tax rules and life.
