My husband was my best friend and was taken home much too soon. He was a man of honor and integrity and was the best part of "Carol & David".
He was raised in Brainards, by the Delaware River in a house that was the home to four generations of Hoffs. He lived next door to the Brainards school that was part of the Harmony Township School system. He walked to school for 3rd, 4th & 5th grade classes there. His cousins lived across the street along with his paternal grandparents. I heard many stories of his childhood and his adventures while living there.
On Sunday, July 1, 2018, the Eastern Lehigh Valley Softball League honored my husband by creating the first "David Hoff Sportsmanship Award" at the 2/3 Tournament hosted by Wilson. The league wanted the award to be what David stood for : sportsmanship, hustle, desire, class. The league stated this criteria for the award "This can go to the best player on your team or the worst, but we want it to go to the player that has all the attributes that Dave has had and coached with. We want this to go to the best teammate!"
I wrote the following to give a glimpse of the man he was in his life, the choices he made for his family and the life he believed in living with those he loved. He always put his loved ones ahead of his own needs and left a legacy that his family will never forget. He touched so many people, more then he ever realized and even those he coached for so many years. The family heard from so many before his passing and then at his viewing and funeral. While the Lord took him home too soon, I was blessed to be part of his life and to call him my husband, best friend and love of my life.

David was a past President of the Forks Township Athletic Association, past President of the Forks Township Recreation Board and served as a Forks Township Supervisor for 12 years, including serving 6 years as Chairman of the Board during that time. He was involved in the decision to build the new municipal complex and helped to create the design for the recreation fields at the Forks Municipal Park. He grew up playing baseball and his love for the sport was evidenced throughout his high school career. He continued playing adult softball for many years in various leagues throughout the area. This passion led him to coach and teach children how to play sports which he truly loved. He was a coach for baseball, basketball and softball in Forks Township for many years while his children were growing up. He then coached his grandchildren in Wilson and Bethlehem Township and served as Wilson Softball Commissioner for two years. His last position was assistant coach for his youngest granddaughter's traveling softball team, the Renegades.

He was a volunteer at Avona Elementary School, chaperoning class trips, class parties & various other activities. David was actively involved in genealogy research with his wife and was proud to trace his roots back to pre-Revolutionary War time.
