My Dad Tom Hoffman

Post by Tom Hoffman »

Hello everyone. This is Jeff Hoffman, Toms son. I regret to inform that my dad passed away suddenly on May 27th 2024. My sister and i have had to deal with so much of my dads unfinished business, all of his finances, probate, and the never-ending Grieving. I have renewed the website domain and paid for another year to host the site. I plan to keep things going, i acquired my fathers Jag's and his Porsches and plan on keeping them and fixing them up. I apologize for not informing you all sooner, but this was very hard on the family and had so much to to deal with. Feel free to message me or email with any questions, I'm keeping in touch With David's daughter Lesli and we both want to keep our fathers love for the S type alive with the website. Thank you :)

-Jeff Hoffman

I am so sorry to hear about Tom. I bet he and David are having a good chin wag about S Types together where ever they are.
I am glad that you have inherited Toms S Type and other cars and hope that the forum will continue in Toms name for a long time.
Again my deepest sympathies for your loss.
