He was the much-loved husband of Vicky. Born in Brazil, Indiana to Charles and Mary

he later went to school to become a maintenance technician, until his retirement.  This
is where he met the love of his life Vicky Ridenour.  They married June 28, 1991.
William loved traveling with her to Florida in the winter to the Ft. Myer area and Sanibel
Island.  He enjoyed quiet mornings on the porch swing in their country home. He loved
music, especially the blues and attended many concerts. He liked fishing, keeping his
property up and working on his Cushman scooters. He treasured his dogs Beanie and
Buster.  He treasured his family. He loved life and was quick with a smile.
He belonged to the Vintage Motor Scooter Club and the VVA.  He was a past member
of the Cruise-in Nites Vintage Car Club, where he enjoyed showing and driving his 1966
Corvette.
William was preceded in death by his parents Charles and Mary Hoffman, and a
