Del was preceded in death by his son David Hoffman; his brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law: Ben Jeurink, Mary Walters, and Shirley and Alfred Hamming.
Del was a man of integrity who loved his family but above all else his Lord and Savior. For 42 years he hauled milk; later in his career, he enjoyed spending weekends at his cottage on Silver Lake. He was a long-time member of Beaverdam Reformed Church where he served as Sunday School treasurer and elder. Later he was a member of Hudsonville Reformed Church where he enjoyed calling on the elderly and shut-ins. Del was a hard-working man who was always willing to help people out. Del and Jan enjoyed collecting John Deere tractors and antiques; in his retirement, they had a John Deere Museum and loved sharing it with whoever stopped by.
Del’s family would like to thank the staff at Riley’s Grove Assisted Living Center for the excellent loving care he received.
