John Hoffer Obituary
John Edward Hoffer Jr., 66, passed away Friday, June 21, 2013 in Kingwood, Texas. John was born June 19, 1947 in Pearsall, Texas to John Edward Hoffer Sr. and Agnes Rummel.
Johnny graduated in 1965 from Robert E. Lee High School in San Antonio, Texas. John has been married to his beloved wife, Linda Ann Smith for 47 years. He was a glazier for the Houston Independent School District for more than 30 years until his retirement in 2008, after which he was then able to enjoy his hobbies full-time. Johnny was born to create, invent and improve… Everything. He lived for flea markets, garage sales and auctions, fishing, gardening and guns.
John loved his wife, his kid, grandson, his pups, family and friends. He really just loved people and animals. And those that knew him will forever miss his brilliance and his larger than life spirit.
John is survived by his wife, Linda; daughter Kristal and son-in-law Matthew Macone; grandson, Jonathon Leach; mother, Aggie Towler, brothers, Michael and Mark Towler; sisters, Michelle Brandon, Kitty Lynn and Penny Kay Hoffer; and numerous other family and friends.

Happy Birthday Daddy!
It is so hard to imagine that it has been 6 yrs since you have been gone, but in some ways it feels like an eternity. I miss you every day. They say time heals, yet I am still waiting. I miss you so much. What I would give to hear you call me your baby just one last time.
I love and miss you.

Daddy... There will never be another like you. You were one of a kind.
I miss you so much and yet, only a month has passed. I still cannot imagine my life without you. And the more I think about and try to remember our conversations and all of your stories, I have realized that I have so many questions that I wished I had asked. I have so many things I wished I had told you. If only I had realized that we were going to run out of time.
I will forever be grateful for the forty-five years that we did have together. I know that you will always be with me and that I will forever be your baby. But I also know that my heart now has a hole, that will forever be in the shape of my Daddy.
I will love you always,
Kris

I worked with and knew John as a friend for almost thirty years. He was one of a kind! Someone I could call a Bud. The world will miss him!

You were the best grandpa in the world... I could not have asked for a better one. You were so fun to be around and you taught me more then I could have ever wished for. I wish you wouldn't have left this early, but God needed a smart, funny, and loving person to join him in the heavens.
I know that Crusty Old Codger will be looking over us for the rest of our lives.
I will always love you and never forget you.
Your grandson,
Jon

John, you will be greatly missed and I don't know what I will do when I go to rallies and cant find your smiling face to shoot the bull with. Enjoy your ride on the golden roads above ! The world as we know it has lost a great person.

I couldn't have hand picked a better brother. You have always been there when I needed you. Wether it was to save me from the tormenting of Michael and Mark when I was little or to give a little country girl a cool place to go for summers in the city. I loved every minute of our time together. When you and Linda moved out here I was thrilled. Having ya'll right next door has been a blessing, with you and daddy both gone I don't know who I'm going to go to for advise on solving the worlds problems. I love you and miss you.
