Herman & Peggy Hoffman lit a candle

“Goodbye, my friend, and God Speed. You influenced me with wisdom, advice, and gentle direction. Your guidance and goodwill were the wind beneath my wings. I'm sure the snowmobile adventures, automobile rebuilds, Ham Radio Field Days, technical debates, and political arguments were as intellectual and as stimulating for those around us as they were for you and me. I still have the $ 100 bill when we wagered who would get married first. Let's do it all over again when we meet again.”
