Thomas Archie Hoffmann died in Christ at 9:13 a.m. on Monday, October 15, 2018. Thomas was born August 12, 1954, to Gerhardt and Meta Hoffmann in Marshfield, WI. Thomas married Janice Mary Polczinski in Oak Creek on May 18, 1985. Together they raised three boys in a loving family who survive them today, Jared (29), Marc (26) and Joseph (23). He is further survived by his mother and a brother, Terry Hoffmann. He was preceded in death by his father and his wife. We do not grieve without hope, for, “We believe that Jesus who died and rose again, will bring with Him our father who has fallen asleep in Jesus.” (1 Thessalonians 4:14 NASB). Thomas was spoken of as kind by all who knew him, and deeply moved the staff of those who cared for him with his gentle nature. Our father was an irreplaceable anchor for the household, he will be sorely missed. Our father’s loss causes us to eagerly await the last great day of resurrection. Visitation will be held on Saturday, October 27th, at Missio Dei Fellowship, 5214-52nd Street, Kenosha, from 9:00 a.m. until the time of the funeral service at 11:00 a.m. Entombment will follow at West Lawn Memorial Park in Racine.

I have been truly blessed by God to have known Tom. We go back somewhere between 40-45 yrs. We both worked at Cooper plant in South Mil.. I was new in my Christian walk when I met Tom. God opened up doors for me to share Christ with him. All glory & praise goes to God. Tom grew in his walk and he & I stayed good friends to the very end of his life in this world. I watched Tom & wife Jan grow in many ways & raise a wonderful family. Tom & Jan kept the faith even as both were faced with tremendous physical battles;Parkinson & cancer. It was hard for Tom when Jan passed away, but he never lost site of his God and Savior nor his trust in Him. I'm sure he had moments of anger and frustration, times of questioning "why?", but God continued to live in and thru him unto others. Tom's peace, hope, and strength all came from his Father in Heaven.

When we don't know how to pray, when the words just won't come, God hears the silent cries of our hearts...

Dear Hoffmann Family , I'm so sorry for your loss. When we lose a loved one in death, we may become overwhelmed by grief. The Bible tells us that Jesus wept when his dear friend Lazarus died. Yet, just minutes later Jesus performed an astounding miracle of raising Lazarus back to life!In doing so, he gave all mankind solid grounds for faith in the amazing promise he had made earlier when he said: “The hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear [Jesus’] voice and come out.” (John 5:28, 29) May the precious hope of a resurrection to life on a paradise earth comfort you during this time.
