I remember Bob Hoffner as a positive and energetic man who was regularly enthused about Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. May he now experience that bliss firsthand with Jesus. My condolences to his dedicated wife, Carol.

Today I was referencing a small business Bible Bob had given me in 1994 when we worked together at Clover. Its inscription states "for those times when you need some guidance!"
Thinking of Bob, I conducted an internet search and learned of his passing. The gift of Bob's friendship is timeless.

Dear Carol, Cheryl and David and Family,

Peter and I were very saddened to learn of Bob's passing. What a dear man he was to our family when we were all at Peace Valley Church. He was always kind, sincere and encouraging to us. May our Lord give each of you comfort and His daily strength. As your memories bring smiles to your faces, rest assured, knowing that your hope in Jesus will reunite you once again....

We surely regret that we will not be in town on Friday, for Bob's service. Please know you will all be in our thoughts and prayers.

Our deepest sympathies,
Peter, Joan, Jim Hoover, John and Joe Patalak

I still cannot find the words to fully express my condolences, and I don't think it's possible. Our friendship has been special for over 50 years. Bob was so proud of his wonderful family. Please know that I will continue to pray for you and all your loved ones. I pray that comfort and peace may touch your grieving hearts. You have a wonderful angel flying high. Barbara Willis Miller.

I am very sad to hear of Bob's homegoing. I would share one memory. My son John had just joined the Doylestown High School wrestling team. He was very willing but terribly undersized. Bob and Carol were over for dinner. He got down on the floor of our house in DT and showed John a few slick moves--hurting his own back in the process. Bob just laughed. We all did.

Though I've moved from the area 8 years ago, I still recount the many fishing adventures that my friend Bob and I experienced. He was a good man, a dear friend and someone that I always could count on for support and advice. Condolences to the family. I look forward to seeing him again. Godspeed, Robert.

Carol, I'm so sorry to hear about Bob's passing. I have fond memories of my time at Peace Valley and of Bob; his warmth, courageous smile and laughter. I am sure her is dancing now in heaven and smiling again! I pray that God will surround you and your family with His comfort and peace.

Bob was a mentor and role model to many at Clover. He hired me and started my Clover career. I have many fond memories of activities with Bob in and outside of work. May he Rest In Peace.
