William J. Hoffman
DATELINE: CRANSTON
Hoffman, William J., 72, died Thursday, June 18, 2020 at HopeHealth, Providence. He was the beloved husband of the late Mildred (Sullivan) Hoffman. Born in Providence, a son of the late Jacob and Marilyn (Manekofsky) Hoffman, he was a lifelong Cranston resident. He was a real estate appraiser, retiring 20 years ago. William was a member of Temple Beth-El.
Devoted father of Shayna and Joseph Hoffman, both of Cranston. Dear brother of the late Martha Sue Hoffman. Loving dogfather of Katie and Mitzi.
In lieu of flowers, contributions in his memory may be made to HopeHealth, 1085 North Main St., Providence, RI 02904. Services and Shiva will be private. However, friends are invited to call on the phone Monday 2-4 p.m.
Shayna and Joe were loved by their parents as if there were but 2 stars in the firmament. They could not have been more attentive and devoted children and remain as living and loving memorials to their mother and father of blessed memory. Shayna’s care gifted Bill with extra years. And Joe was all that a beloved son could be. Bill and Millie who were together in life are now separated not even by death. God-bless you.
With love
Rabbi Les Gutterman
