Hofer
December 20, 1937
March 27, 2022
Bob went to be with the Lord March 27, 2022 peaceably with family by his side. He was loved and will be missed by many.
Born and raised by Ira and Ethel, Bob was one the few natives of Colorado Springs. Bob was a mechanic for fifty years and the owner of Ira's Garage for forty-five years following the death of his father. He retired in 1999. The garage is still open for business and is operated by his son.
Bob was a member of the Knob Hill Lion's club and an avid tennis player at the CSRC. He was a huge fan of the Denver Broncos and viewing any sporting event. Bob enjoyed playing horseshoes, the outdoors, and hunting with his sons when they were young. He was never one to turn down an ice cream sundae topped with crackers.
Bob was preceded in death by his sister, Anne Shephard.
He leaves his loving wife, Sue Hofer, of sixty-two years; sons, Glea (Linda) Hofer and Ray (Deanna) Hofer; daughters, Carina (Bill) McBride and Monica (Greg) Miranda; ten grandchildren; and nine great-grandchildren.
Memorial Service, 2:00PM, Friday, April 1, 2022. The Springs Funeral Services-North, 6575 Oakwood Boulevard, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80923.
