Terrence K. Hoffman
Abbie, hailing from Michigan, now finds himself a member of the old school, or is it old Corps? Why use the stairs when a rope from the fourth floor will do? A gold bar will only be one change come June. We wish him luck.

Terrence Keith Hoffman
May 9th, 1956 - January 22nd, 2010
Keith Hoffman, beloved husband, father, grandfather and friend , died suddenly on Friday, January 22, 2010 in St. Petersburg, Florida. He was born to Walter and Dolores Hoffman on May 9, 1956 in Frankfurt, Germany.
He is preceded in death by both his parents, Walter and Dolores. In his passing Keith leaves cherished memories for his loved ones; he is survived by his wife Jane (PJ), daughters Jennifer Cameron and husband Duane, Rebecca Hoffman, Caitlin Hoffman, Jennifer Stover; sons Andrew Hoffman, Rick Stover and Doug Stover and wife Natalie; grandchildren Matthew, Jacob and Aiden Cameron, Jayden Porter and Mackensie Stover; sister Georgene Wigen and husband Michael, and brother Gregory Hoffman and wife Nancy.
As the oldest of three children he was always the leader in adventures and had a mischievous sense of humor and sly wit that he carried with him through life. Growing up in Michigan he loved fixing things and playing baseball and ice hockey.
Keith applied to and was accepted to attend the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York. He graduated on June 6th, 1978 receiving a commission in the Regular Army. He served on active duty in armor units both in Germany and at Fort Knox, Kentucky. Entering the Army Reserve he began a successful new career as a business manager in the national defense industry, providing over 20 years of dedicated service to General Dynamics companies.
Keith was a kind and generous man whose humility always made him put others first in his thoughts and deeds. Though quiet and reserved in nature, he was very passionate about the persons and things important to him, especially his PJ. Some of the things he enjoyed include writing and playing music on his guitar, riding his Harley, and simply relaxing in the sun either on the sand or on the water.
Truly fortunate are those now who enjoyed the depth and breadth of his love and company; all are so much the better for it.
