Roy Renninger Hoffman, 81, of Barto, PA., passed away on December 11, 2024, after battling Parkinson’s Disease for many years. In his final days, he was lovingly surrounded by family who will continue to honor his legacy of integrity and kindness.

Born at home in Barto, PA., Roy was the son of the late Ella Mae (Renninger) and Chester Hoffman. He graduated Boyertown High School and shortly thereafter, enlisted in the U.S. Navy. He served during peacetime aboard the U.S.S. New DD 818 and enjoyed traveling extensively while stationed in the Middle East.

Roy was hardworking and dedicated. He was an electrician by trade, first working for B.F. Goodrich and later as the owner and operator of Roy Hoffman Electric.
