Carl was born September 6, 1934 in Spruce Creek, the son of John S. (Jack) and Isadore (Sieverding) Hoffmann. Carl graduated from St. Joseph's High School in Bellevue, Iowa. He served in the US Army from 1957-59.

He married Marilyn Myers of Waucoma, Iowa on May 15, 1965, and they lived in Bellevue where they raised their family.

Carl's passion was his church, family, carpentry/woodworking and hunting. Carl worked in construction first in the Galena area where he built many homes and businesses. He later partnered with the late Art Stuart operating a construction company in Bellevue until he operated Carl Hoffmann Construction from 1972 until into his late 70s.

He was a father to three children, including daughter Julie, and sons Leo and Patrick who worked in construction with him for numerous years. He enjoyed hunting, hiking, traveling and spending time with his family. In his retirement, he was an avid woodworker, building furniture, jewelry boxes, picture frames and decorative items that would often be donated to St. Joseph's Church Fall Festival auctions, Pheasants Forever and many family and friends.

He was a lifelong member of St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Bellevue. He was also a longtime member of Pheasants Forever. For many years, he and Marilyn were members of the Double DJ Twirlers Square Dancers. He had a heart for serving others and could always be counted on as a volunteer by the church, friends, neighbors and Pheasants Forever.

Survivors include his wife, Marilyn, his children, Leo (Jenny) Hoffmann of Brighton, Colorado, Julie (David) Shepherd of Mountain Lakes, New Jersey, and Patrick (Gwen) Hoffmann of Gilbert, South Carolina; 8 grandchildren, Nathan, Michelle and Chanise, Jessica, Rex, Justin, Tyler & Christian, and 4 great-grandchildren, Remy, Jaina, Ember & Quinn.

Additional survivors include his brother Eugene (Shirley) Hoffmann of Cascade and scores of in-laws, nieces and nephews. Carl was preceded in death by his parents and sister Rita.
