Carl Hoff Obituary
Carl graduated from Bloomfield High School in 1964 and from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) in 1968 with an engineering degree. He joined the Air Force and served in various locations, retiring with the rank of Major in 1988. Carl then settled in Dayton, Ohio where he earned a PhD in Computer Science from Wright State University.
Carl was interested in genealogy and had traced his family's roots from throughout the Midwest going back several generations.
Carl was known for his kindness and generosity to his neighbors and to animals. He cared for multiple adopted cats and stray dogs. Along with his animal companions he moved back to his childhood home in Bloomfield in 2015, and then to Brookdale Chatfield in 2021.
The Hoff family extends its appreciation to the staff of Brookdale Chatfield, and to his caring aides from Right at Home.
Carl is survived by his brother, Richard Hoff (Janice) of Glastonbury; his nephews, Brian and Eric Hoff and their families.
A Memorial Service will be held in the chapel of First Church Congregational, West Hartford, 12 South Main Street, on Friday, January 2, at 11:00 a.m., with interment in the Memorial Garden.
