William Michael Hoffman of Edgerton passed away peacefully on February 7, 2026, at the age of 78.
He was the much-loved husband of Vicky. Born in Brazil, Indiana to Charles and Mary (Bond) Hoffman, Mike cherished his early years in southern Indiana with family and special cousin, Sue Hubble. The family later moved to Bryan, Ohio where he graduated in 1966. He then served in the US Army in Vietnam as a Sargant of the D-Troop, 3rd squadron, 17th Calvary Regimen from 1968 to 1969. He then went to Jackson Business University, earning his associate's degree in 1972. He eventually hired into BCP where he later went to school to become a maintenance technician, until his retirement. This is where he met the love of his life Vicky Ridenour. They married June 28, 1991.
William loved traveling with her to Florida in the winter to the Ft. Myer area and Sanibel Island. He enjoyed quiet mornings on the porch swing in their country home. He loved music, especially the blues and attended many concerts. He liked fishing, keeping his property up and working on his Cushman scooters. He treasured his dogs Beanie and Buster. He treasured his family. He loved life and was quick with a smile.
He belonged to the Vintage Motor Scooter Club and the VVA. He was a past member of the Cruise-in Nites Vintage Car Club, where he enjoyed showing and driving his 1966 Corvette.
