Jeff was one of the best people that I have ever had the honor and privilege to have known.  He loved his family and he always supported his coworkers and found the best in any situation. He dispensed advice freely and was genuine in the delivery of this advice.  He made me want to work harder and be better and do more than I ever thought I was capable of. The world is a better place because he lived in it.  Jeff will be missed, always loved and never forgotten.  ~Betsy Boyer

Dear ones,
I am so sorry for your loss.  Jeff was a very positive influence to anyone who came in contact with him.  He was so gracious to me the first few months of my employment and I will always enjoy the music cd’s he would drop off every year at Christmas.  He was truly an outstanding person and touched so many lives. I feel sincerely blessed to have known him.  Praying for your family through this tender time.

Dear Hoffer Family, 
While I only had the privilege of working with Jeff for a short time here at Woodstream he left a life long impression.  I knew the moment I met Jeff that I was fortunate to have him as my boss, my mentor. He had a great passion for his work and vision for what our group would become. His excitment and optimism were contagious. He will truly be missed! My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time. 
Sincere regards,

Dear Jody and everyone,
I am an early JLCark alum. I met Jeff in the early seventies and had a friendship with him into the eighties when I moved into New England. I;ve kept tabs on Jeff through Fred Stehman, another JLC alum. I delighted  in all my time with Jeff. We shared like interests in music. and road racing I dont know but I may have helped him discover the Grateful Dead and I certainly helped him get to a few concerts at the Specrtrum. Jeff also enlightened me to music and brought me a life long love affair of the music of Al DiMeiola.  although we were noot close, I always thpught of Jeff as a friend and not just an aquaintance.  I cherish every moment that I spent with Jeff, He was always such a delight. He’ll always put a smile on my face and perhaps, a tear in my eye that he is gone so soon.  Bob wood

Dear Jody and family,
It was pity I can’t be there, my thoughts and prayers are all with you. Jeff was the most selfless and devoted person I ever known. He was a great role model for many people around him. Knowing for his dedication, commitment and kindness, he gained respects and friendship from lots people here in China. He was strong-willed like a rock and remained unperturbed during the fight with the cancer till the last moment. He was certainly too tired and now he can rest forever. Let’s wish him a good journey.

Dear Hoffer Family,
I offer my most sincere condolences on the passing of Jeff.  I worked with Jeff at Woodstream in 2010 moving Perky Pet Products from Denver, CO to Ellendale, MN.  He is one of the finest people that I ever met.  He genuinely cared about the people he worked with and did everything within his power to ensure a successful outcome.  He made it clear to me that he loved his family and he loved Jesus.  I would gladly share a foxhole with Jeff in time of war.  He was a truly outstanding person and a leader of men and women.  I will play “Baker Street” by Jerry Raferty this evening in his honor.  God Bless you and God Bless Jeff.  RIP.

Dear Hoffer Family:
I am so very sorry for your loss.  As a coworker at Woodstream, I was blessed to know Jeff and to be on his Christmas music list. He graced our halls with such a joyful spirit that many of us did not know how truly ill he was.  He always had a smile on his face and would recognize you in the hallway by name.  Please take comfort in your faith at this very difficult time.  Jeff was a VERY special man and he will be truly missed.

Dear Hoffer Family,
I am so sorry for your loss.  I am deeply saddened by Jeff’s passing.  I had the privilege of working with Jeff for the last 8-1/2 years at Woodstream Corporation.   We worked closely on many different projects, even traveling together to China to attend meetings there.  He was so well liked by all of those who worked with him.  I never met a more kind, more helpful, more cheerful, more positive and respectful person.  He will be missed very much. Godspeed Jeff!

Dear Hoffer Family, I was in the Band Blue Attitude, and played in several Praise Bands with Jeffrey’s Brother David. I had the pleasure of meeting Jeffrey on several occasions. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to spend alot of time talking to Jeffrey, but I know he was a really great, friendly Guy, and well liked just like his Brother Dave is. I know Jeffery will be greatly missed by his Family, and many Friends, but that he won’t be forgotten.  My thoughts, and Prayers go out to the Hoffer Family, and I pray that God will give you the strength to get through the difficult days ahead.
 
God Bless you,
 
Respectfully
