Harold was born on February 2, 1946 in Highland, IL to Harold Henry and Opal Marie Busch Hoffman. He is survived by his children: Jeanna Marie (Jon) Greco of East Alton, IL; Julie Ann (Dwight) Dothager of Vandalia, IL; Shawn Kerry Hoffmann of Meadowbrook, IL; brother, Terry Lee (Debra) Hoffmann of Vandalia, IL; sister in law, Rose Hoffman of Smithboro, IL; grandchildren: Tiffany Marie (Shaun) Davis, Justin Leigh (Megan) Greco, Jacob Thomas Rau, Isaac Allen Rau; great grandchildren: Marselleno Jay Davis, Kamryn Marcellus Davis and Kynsleigh Kay Greco.
Harold grew up in the Old Ripley area of Bond County. He attended Pocahontas grade schools and graduated from Greenville High School. After high school he started working at Basler Electric with his mother. He then moved on to Olin Brass Mill, for forty years, as a lead heat treater. He retired to his log cabin where he enjoyed the outdoors, tinkering, his lawn mowers, wheeling and dealing, his blue 1996 Harley sportster, his dogs: Lu Belle, Holly Dolly, and Clyde. Spending time with his family and grandchildren was one of his greatest joys. He was a member of the Old Ripley Church of Christ. He turned his life over to his Lord, Jesus Christ, his Lord and Savior and read his bible daily.
He was preceded in death by his parents, sisters: Judith Kious and Diane Bare; and Brother James L. ‘Bud' Hoffmann.

We would like to express our deepest sympathy to the family in this difficult time. Fuzz was one of the icons in the memories I have growing up as a child in Old Ripley. Although he is no longer with us, his memory will live on with those who's lives he touched. We offer up prayers to the Lord to give the family the strength, wisdom and courage to continue.
