HOFFMAN, Roscoe David 86, of Tampa, passed away on Saturday, September 23, 2017. He is heading home to join his wife Norma Martino Hoffman of 66 years. He is survived by daughters, Catherine Nalls and Sharlene Lairscey (Lance); son, David Hoffman (Karen); many grandchildren; a few great grandchildren; many nieces and nephews; and his brother Donald Lee Hoffman. Roscoe was predeceased by his parents, Lewis Nelson Hoffman and Mary Rhudelia Zimmerman of Frederick, Maryland; brothers, William Nelson Hoffman, Richard Lewis Hoffman, John Robert Hoffman, Lloyd Hume Hoffman, and Sister, Margaret Helen Hoffman.
A member of the Armed Forces of the United States, US Air Force, Roscoe was released on Honorable Discharge after receiving several medals, specifically a testimonial of Honest and Faithful Service. He served as a Staff Sergeant. His professional career included serving as a Small Business Owner for Norcoe Electric Company, a company he incorporated. He was later recruited to serve as the lead electrical and mechanical engineer for Reynolds Metals Aluminum Company located in Tampa, Florida where he enjoyed an amazing long term career. For Roscoe Hoffman, Safety was key in the workplace. He used to state, "HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE? It takes a minute to write a Safety Rule; It takes a hour to hold a Safety Meeting; It takes a week to plan a Safety Program; It takes a month to put it into operation; It takes a year to win a Safety Award; It takes a lifetime to make a Safety Worker; and it takes only one second to destroy it all with one accident." Roscoe retired at Reynolds as the Plant Manager at the age of 54 with a ZERO HARM AWARD under his leadership. He started as an electrician, and with heartfelt commitment and dedication, he worked his way up to running the Electrical Department, then the entire plant as manager. A private service will be held in November, where he will join his loving wife Norma at the Florida National Veteran's Cemetery in Bushnell, Florida. Roscoe was a loving husband, father and grandfather and will be missed greatly. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Alzheimer's Association (www.alzfdn.org/). Gonzalez Funeral Home.
