Peter Hoffmann Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Aug. 20, 2024.
Peter Hoffmann passed away peacefully on August 17, 2024, at the age of 82. He was born in Chilton, WI to Hilda (Franzen) and Joseph Hoffmann. An outstanding student and athlete, he competed in football, basketball, track, and baseball at Chilton High School and played football and ran track at St. Norbert's College, De Pere, Wisconsin. After graduation, Pete joined the Catholic Lay Mission Corps, teaching and coaching at Holy Cross High School in San Antonio, Texas for five years. Returning to Wisconsin, he taught social studies and coached football and track for 45 years. Pete was an active member of both St. Kilian's Catholic church and St. Aidan's Episcopal church and enjoyed volunteering with Friends of Pike Lake and Angel's Grace Hospice. In addition to his passion for gardening, he loved maple syruping with friends and spent several years on a quest to taste as many varieties of apples as possible, eventually sampling over 650. Pete was a man of enormous integrity, compassion, and love.

Pete is survived by his wife Micki, his sons Matt (Lena), Ben (Amy), and Greg (Liz) and grandchildren Gabe, Abby, Drew, Anders, and Alex, as well as his twin brother Michael (Jan), his sister Helen (Jim) Reinkober, and brother Don. He will also be missed by nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

Family will receive relatives and friends Saturday, August 24, 2024, from 10 am until noon, at St. Aidan's Episcopal Church, 670 East Monroe Ave, Hartford, WI.

To Coach Peter Hoffmans Family a message sent to his Holy Cross of San Antonio Family from Jerry (Squeak)Martinez

HC Alumni and Friends,
Belated prayers for Coach Peter Hoffman, his loved one's and entire family. I recall hearing he had been called home but never found any information, until today. The Holy Cross Knights teams in Heaven must have needed coach's, three, Coach Jim Amicone, Coach Felipe Waterwall and Coach Peter Hoffman all passed in 2024. Coach Hoffman was a pillar of HC Football and left his mark on many a Holy Cross Knight. Coach Hoffman recruited me my freshman year to keep stats for the football team through my 4 years at HC. In those days, after compiling stats, I would call them in for 25 cents, to the Express News and the San Antonio Light from a pay phone behind the cafeteria by the ice machine. In 2025 this will be Squeaks 31st year since returning as the Holy Cross Football statistician, plus the 4 years in high school for a total of 35 years. Making Coach Peter Hoffman proud from his Holy Cross Football perch in Heaven. God Bless Coach Peter Hoffman. May he rest in peace. Amen.

Pete saved my life when we went swimming at Crystal Lake. He was a great guy and will definitely be missed by all.
