Douglas Hoffmeister Obituary
He was born Sept. 28, 1946, in Tecumseh, the son of the late August and Evelyn (Brant) Hoffmeister. On Aug. 17, 1968, in Tecumseh, he married Sandra Poley and she survives.
Doug proudly served his country in the U.S. Army and was a member of the Masons. He retired in 2008 from the Tecumseh Products Company after 45 years. Doug loved cars and anything to do with cars. He also enjoyed tinkering and fixing things, he could fix anything. Doug's grandchildren were everything to him. He was very proud of all of their accomplishments, he loved spending time with them-whether it be picking them up from school or goofing and playing with them. He also enjoyed feeding the neighborhood birds and squirrels.
Besides his wife, Sandra, he is survived by his children, Kirk (Kristi) Hoffmeister of Onsted and Kim Hoffmeister of Raisin Township; two sisters, Meredith Sims and Sharleen Drake, both of Adrian; and four grandchildren, Skylar, Logan, Myla and Mali.
