Arthur Joseph Hofmann's Obituary
Arthur (Art) Hofmann, devoted husband, father and grandpa, passed away on April 18, 2020, just a week short of his 96th birthday. Art was born in Ackley, Iowa to the late Albert and Rosa Hofmann. He is predeceased by two sons, Michael (infant) and Bill (57) and survived by his loving wife of 74 years, Arlene, his children Linda (Joe) Barbosa, Steve (Kelly) Hofmann and Lisa (Jeff) Munsey, daughter-in-law MaryAnn Hofmann, 10 grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren.
Art was a proud Army Air Corps veteran, serving as a B-24 pilot in WWII. He remained close with several members of his flight crew throughout their lives. After the war, Art worked in the meat sales and export industry. Upon retiring, he and Arlene hitched up their trailer and traveled the U.S. In addition to camping, Art enjoyed boating, fishing and woodworking. He was a strong supporter of the Boy Scouts of America, and an active member of the St. Marks Catholic Church Men’s Club and Outreach Committee in Cooper City, Florida.
Art’s family and friends recall his easy laugh and his friendly outgoing nature. Art loved a good martini, the Miami Hurricanes, and oysters on the half shell.
