Peter George Hoffmann

Peter George Hoffmann passed away on September 8, 2022 at the age of 83, after battling Alzheimer's disease for several years. He was born in Long Island, New York to George and Louise Hoffmann and grew up in Atlanta, Georgia, where he attended high school and some college. He then enlisted in the Marine Corps Reserves. He excelled in the tech school at Parris Island and was attached to a Marine Fighter Aviation Squadron. Later serving in Vietnam, he came to know a group of Montagnards, several of whom became his lifelong friends.

After Vietnam, he traveled extensively and then settled in Pompano Beach, Florida, living on a houseboat at the Sands Harbor, and operating a yacht brokerage in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea. He met and married a law student, Nancy Little, in 1974. They were blessed with two daughters, Karen and Sarah, whom he loved deeply.

While living in Pompano Beach, he operated Hoffmann Marine, designing, building, and selling various types of vessels -- most notably a submarine, which he built in the family garage.

In addition to his wife and daughters, Pete is survived by his sister and brother-in-law, Harriet and Danny Morgan and their family, Miki and Blake Morgan, in Atlanta; his brother Roger and sister-in-law Nan in Point Reyes, California; and numerous cousins in his extended family. He is remembered not only as a man of many interests and talents, but also as a kind, good-hearted and strong man with a wicked sense of humor. He will be profoundly missed.

Per Pete's wishes, no services will be held. His ashes will be scattered in the Gulf Stream.
