Obituary

Sep 8, 2004

HOFFMAN, CHARLES HENRY, JR. Long time Portland resident Charles H. Hoffman Jr. passed away Aug. 25, 2004, from natural causes. A memorial service is planned for a later date. Charles was born on Sept. 24, 1914, in Pittsburgh, PA. After graduating from Carnegie Tech, he accepted a position with the Boeing Company as an aeronautical engineer. He later went to work for the Link-Belt Co. as a sales engineer and worked there until his retirement. In 1948, he moved his family to Portland where they lived until his retirement. He and his wife Dorcas then moved to Bend. They both enjoyed many years of retirement traveling the United States, Canada, and Mexico. They also spent many summers fishing in Brookings and the central Oregon lakes. An avid woodworker, Mr. Hoffman spent many hours in his shop building wooden toys and furniture for many charities and for his 17 grandchildren. In later years they moved to Eugene for health reasons and to be closer to family. Mr. Hoffman is survived by his wife of 66 years, Dorcas; their children, Peggy Stewart, Nancy Wollmuth, Charles H. Hoffman III, Sally Goodale, Bill Hoffman and Mary Laughary and their spouses, Greg, Marvin, Judy, Scott, Jill and Kevin. He also leaves behind 17 grandchildren and 23 great-grandchildren.
