    Hoffman, you will be missed my friend. From college to continuing friendship after; I’m reminiscing the good times we had going to games, talking sports and ski trips. You truly were the center of attention and will be missed greatly. Prayers to you and your family.

    Dear Steve and Carol,
    You are in my prayers during this hard time of grief. I knew the Brink family as kids at St. Rose and how many times I spent at the Hoffman home on sycamore as a kid.
    I will pray for your sons soul that he too will be in the glory of God now.
    Requiem aternum.

    Hoffman – I will miss you and our weekly bullsh!t topics on Instagram. It’s crazy to think you’re gone after we just recently spoke about you getting a new car.

    From our crazy nights in college to causal conversations as men, you were a good dude. Definitely the one that had the potential to get us all kicked out of a bar depending on how the night went, but we were always prepared, haha.

    I wish we were able to get that one last trip in that we spoke about. We’ll have that beer together one day, cheers to you!

    I worked with Alex for the last few years. He’s always been kind and respectful and I enjoyed working with him. He was a very nice man and I’m going to miss working with him. Rest in peace, Alex. My heart is broken for your parents. As a parent I cannot imagine your sorrow. He will be missed by so many.

    Alex hired me about a year ago. We worked closely together as we bounced ideas off each other and planned for improved procedures. He will be sorely missed.
