Condolence: Our sincere sympathies to Mrs. Erna, and the Breems and Hoff, Jr. families. As neighbors of his daughter, we have come into contact with Mr. Hoff many times over the past years. We always enjoyed the conversations and good will. Every interaction we have had with him and Mrs. Erna were very pleasant. He was a very nice, and personal gentleman. We will miss his coming by to visit his family. We are in prayer for the family.

Condolence: I am sorry to hear about the loss of Mr. Hoff. I enjoyed our talks about politics, and life in general when I would come into the office. You will be missed buddy!

Condolence: Dear Family, God has Fred Sr, in his arms. You are all in my prayers.

Condolence: Fred...I really feel your loss. Your dad was a very special man. We would trade old stories and could talk for hours if time permitted. Would have been wonderful to have it all in a book. Me and my wife send our condolences and will miss him greatly.

Condolence: Fred, you're always so positive and upbeat. I enjoyed our many conversations. I must say that I learned something from you each and every time we spoke. Heaven is truly getting another angel. Rest on man.

Condolence: Dear Uncle Fred, You are the greatest uncle of all time. You were the finest role model for a young boy (me) growing up in the l960s & 1970s. That trip out West with you & Aunt Erna, Cousin Eva & my sister Tina in 1968 remains one of the most important events in my life. (Just think, Harry & Fred Jr. weren't even born yet!). My mom Hannelore, was visiting Oma & Opa for a month in Wuerzburg & my dad Bill was preparing for final exams his junior year of college. They needed a babysitter so you & Aunt Erna took me & Tina for the month. We flew out to Phoenix, AZ & then you rented a car & we drove all over the West. You cracked me up with all of your fun jokes & crazy stories. You told me that we were going to go down to Nogales, Mexico to find some Mexican Jumping Beans & a worm at the bottom of a bottle of a type of Mexican liquor called Tequila. I simply could not believe that such things really existed. We got to Nogales on Cinco de Mayo. Mariachi bands were playing all over the town & people were dancing on the sidewalks, dancing in the streets, dancing in the restaurants. It was the craziest event in my short life. This & so many of the other events left a lasting impression on me. I have hundreds of so many happy memories with you, especially all of the great interstate road trips between Oak Forest, Il & Jonesboro, Ark. But you always challenged me intellectually too. You always asked what(book)I was reading & you would quiz me about national & international events that were being reported on in the Chicago Tribune. Your generosity was everywhere. You treated me, Tina & my younger brothers Roy & Carl as if we were your own children. Heaven is truly one angel richer with your arrival there.
