Peter Joseph Hoffmann

Peter Hoffmann passed away peacefully on August 17, 2024, at the age of 82. He was born in Chilton, WI to Hilda (Franzen) and Joseph Hoffmann. An outstanding student and athlete, he competed in football, basketball, track, and baseball at Chilton High School and played football and ran track at St. Norberts College, De Pere, Wisconsin. After graduation, Pete joined the Catholic Lay Mission Corps, teaching and coaching at Holy Cross High School in San Antonio, Texas for five years.

Pete was an active member of both St. Kilian’s Catholic church and St. Aidan’s Episcopal church and enjoyed volunteering with Friends of Pike Lake and Angel’s Grace Hospice. In addition to his passion for gardening, he loved maple syruping with friends and spent several years on a quest to taste as many varieties of apples as possible, eventually sampling over 650. Pete was a man of enormous integrity, compassion, and love.
