Robert was born in Brooklyn, N.Y., on Sept. 1, 1935, to Sidney and Irene Gatke Hoffman. He was employed for many years at both the Brooklyn Naval Shipyard and the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard.
Robert was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed hunting, fishing and camping. He had his pilots license and enjoyed flying out to remote areas in northern Maine to enjoy the outdoors.

He was a member and former instructor for the National Rifle Association and had been involved in Lebanon town politics. Robert will be remembered as a kind and loving father, grandfather and friend and will be dearly missed by his friends and family.
