Hoffman, Henry E. (Died)

Henry E. Hoffman,89, widower of Mary Hoffman, of Reading, PA passed away on Thursday, January 11, 2024, at Keystone Villa in Douglassville. Born in Pottstown, Henry started his working life at the family car dealership, pool company, and archery as well as a short time with Pottstown Plating Works after which he joined the army where he did his service to his country in a guided missile Battalion ending with an Honorable Discharge and an eagerness to marry the love of his life Mary. Henry then started his career with the Firestone Tire and Rubber company working in Virgina and Canada, retiring after 30 years. Henry was a member of St Catherines of Sienna Church in Reading and over the years was heavily involved in the community volunteering at his Church, helping guide the youth at JR Achievers and Co-founding a Woodstock Old timers Hockey Team in Woodstock, Ontario. During his retirement, he was a lifeline to many in his community happily performing maintenance and chores for community members who needed help. Henry's greatest passion was his wife Mary, his children and grandchildren being a very devoted grandfather even from miles away. Henry loved cars, coins, antiques, traveling, family history, and cracking a cold one; however, golf seemed to be his biggest frustration. Henry is survived by two daughters and one Daughter-in-law: Stephanie Hoffman (Michael Smith); Felicia Roepman (Dan): son Henry Hoffman Jr. (Fran); Daughter-in-law Angela Hoffman and 6 grandchildren: John, Bailey, Dylan, Emelie, Dan, Shawn and many Nieces and Nephews.
