Charles "Chuck" Edwin Hoff

Chuck was born on March 19, 1933 in Windsor, Colorado to Joe and Katie Hoff. He grew up in Brush, CO and graduated from Brush High School in 1951 receiving the Pettis Family Scholarship. He went on to receive a degree in mathematics in 1955 from The University of Northern Colorado, then known as Colorado Teachers College. He was a veteran of the U.S. Army from 1955-1958 and had jobs as a teacher, beer truck driver, and with the National Bureau of Standards before he landed a job with IBM, which he loved and made his career for 25 years. It was there that he became a team leader and Systems Management Engineer and formed lifelong friendships with his team.

Upon his retirement, Chuck found time to get back to the things that he truly enjoyed, including traveling, cooking, woodworking, sewing, music, and singing. He was a loyal member of St. James, Chandler, and Dayspring United Methodist Churches through his adult life and found happiness singing in the church choir. He was a generous and dedicated individual who loved his family and enjoyed talking about his grandchildren’s accomplishments.

In 1953, Chuck married Shirley Schweers and began his family with three children: Paul Hoff (Katherine), Patricia Hoff, and Syndi Longtin (Mike). His family grew with the birth of his grandchildren, Luke Rodgers (Lisa), Kristen Oliver (Brian), and April Hoezler (Mike) and his great-grandchildren, Taylor and Austin Hoezler.
