  Archabald S. (Archie) Hoffman, 90, of Appleton, passed away Monday, September 7. Predeceased by wife of 57 years, Barbara, and infant son Brian as well as sisters: Ethel, Margaret and Genevieve. Survived by many nieces, nephews and siblings: Joseph, Richard and Frances; son David (Betsy) of Lake Elmo, MN, and daughter Martha (George) Curtis, son Matthew (Connie), son Paul (Kathy), and Timothy (Tricia) all of Appleton. Also survived by grandchildren Luke (Dani), Laura, Hailey (Steve), Alyssa, Amanda, Christopher, Alexander, Andrew, Nicholas, Heidi, Ruby and Jian and great grandson Henry whom he had the pleasure of meeting in July. Arch grew up on the family farm near Stevensville where he learned the value of faith, family, and hard work. He was proud of his gardens that produced vegetables year round! Later, during his time in the army, he helped with the reconstruction of Germany after WWII, giving him the skills that were helpful in his future work back home where he worked in the construction industry. In the late 1960's he became co-owner of Wunderlich-Hoffman ,building bridges all over the state. In retirement Arch and Barb enjoyed traveling the globe with trips to Yugoslavia, Egypt, England, Australia, Columbia, Argentina, Morocco, China, Hong Kong, Mexico among others. Their excursions included boat rides on the Amazon, Nile, Danube, and Volga rivers as well as the Panama Canal. Arch was very connected to his church parish, St. Therese, and was a member for over 60 years. After retirement he was a handyman for the church for many years. Arch will be remembered as a father with many talents, always willing to help with any projects. He was a grandpa that had fun with all the kids, frequently playing with them on the floor with the Lincoln Logs or marble game he made, or with a child next to him shelling peanuts or playing cards. He recently looked forward to weekly family gatherings to play cards and 'talk smart'. A funeral mass will be celebrated Friday September 11 at 11:00 AM at St. Therese Catholic Church 213 E. Wisconsin Ave., Appleton. Visitation will begin at 9 AM. Friends and family will gather for a luncheon afterward at the Grand Meridian, 2621 N Oneida St, Appleton, and then Arch will be interred at Riverside Cemetery with full military honors. Memorials preferred to the family to be used for son Matt's recovery from a stroke.
