  Charles R. Hoffman 
   
  MANHEIM Charles R. "Dick" Hoffman, 87, passed away on Monday, June 4, 2012, at 
  Oak Leaf Manor North, Landisville, where he resided for almost a year. Born in 
  Hershey, Charles was the son of the late John R. Hoffman and Mary Marguerite 
  Krow Hoffman. He was the husband of Margaret "Peg" Henry Hoffman who died in 
  October, 2008. Charles was employed as a purchasing agent and former route 
  driver for the Tasty Baking Company in Philadelphia for 30 years. He retired 
  to Rangeley Lakes, Maine, where he and Peg purchased and managed 13 rental 
  cottages. His love of the sun and the ocean led the couple to Cape May, N.J. 
  and subsequently back to PA after the birth of their granddaughter, Jenna. 
  Charles' hard work ethic and love of his country led him to serve as a U.S. 
  Marine in the Okinawa campaign in World War II as a technical sergeant in 
  communications. Charles was a graduate of Lafayette College, Easton. His life 
  centered on his family and friends. He taught Sunday School and volunteered 
  many hours of time as a church custodian and at the Hershey Historical 
  Society. Charles' competitive nature was evident during his participation in 
  biking and running events and also during varied card games. His family will 
  miss his presence in countless ways, but especially at weekly Sunday dinners 
  that usually ended with a spirited game of 500 Rummy. The family would like to 
  thank the staff at Oak Leaf Manor North for the loving care of their father. 
  Charles is survived by his son, John R. Hoffman II, married to Vicky L (Pryor) 
  Hoffman of Lebanon; his daughter, Sally C. Hoffman Doane, married to Jeffrey 
  R. Doane of Lancaster; one granddaughter, Jenna F. Doane of Philadelphia; one 
  step grandson, Lawrence T. Pryor of North Dakota; and his sister, Marguerite 
  Ann (Hoffman) Reichenbaugh of Hummelstown. He was preceded in death by one 
  sister, Ethel Elizabeth Garman and one brother John R. Hoffman, Jr. Relatives 
  and friends are respectfully invited to attend Charles' Life Celebration in 
  the Sun Room at Oak Leaf Manor North, 2901 Harrisburg Pike, Landisville, on 
  Saturday, June 16 at 9:30 a.m. Interment will be at the convenience of the 
  family. Friends may visit with the family after the service. In lieu of 
  flowers, memorial remembrances may be made in Charles' memory to the American 
  Cancer Society.   Kreamer Funeral Home and Crematory, Inc., 618 E. Main St., 
  Annville, is assisting the family with arrangements.
