William K. Hoffman Jr.

Bill grew up in San Diego and graduated Suma Cum Laude from Texas Military Institute in San Antonio. He served in the U.S. Army during WWII, and was stationed in the Philippines. Bill graduated from the University of Texas at Austin in 1949 with a degree in business. While there, he joined Sigma Nu Fraternity and was a member of the Silver Spurs. It was here that he met his best girl, Sue, from Hillsboro. After graduating, he moved to Houston, where he worked for Superior Oil Co. for 32 years before retiring in 1982. He was a longtime member of the Houston Country Club and Bethel Church.

"Daddy Bill" was a devoted family man who loved spending as much time with his family as possible.

He is survived by his wife of 59 years, Sue Wilkirson Hoffman; children, William K. Hoffman III and his wife, Linda, and Emily H.
