Robert Dean “Bob” Hoffman, 85, of Bingham, Illinois, passed away Thursday, February 27, 2025, at his home in Bingham, IL.
He was born September 5, 1939, in Bayle City, IL, the son of Emmett Marshall & Geneva Beatrice (Hayes) Hoffman. Bob was a farmer, and although he enjoyed it and worked hard, his faith was important to him, and because of that, he never worked on a Sunday. In his young adult life, he enjoyed playing fastpitch softball and was a talented pitcher. He was an avid bow hunter and found the most enjoyment hunting turkey and deer. He also had the pleasure of a successful bear hunt in Canada. Although he was familiar with many of the local fishing holes, he especially liked the fishing trips to Canada with family and friends. His greatest joy was spending time with his children and grandchildren. He was a devoted member of the First Baptist Church in Ramsey.
Services will be held at 11:00 AM, Tuesday, March 4, 2025, at the First Baptist Church in Ramsey, IL with Pastor Jeff Shouse officiating. Burial will follow at Prairie (Hoffman) Cemetery, Rural Ramsey, IL. Visitation will be held from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM, Tuesday, prior to the service at the church.
