Thoughts & prayers are with the family. I worked for Gaylon at the Texaco/Tire store. Much respect for him. Good Man
Our deepest sympathy to the family! Mr. Hoffman was one of the nicest men we know.
Gaylon was my hero he was 4 yr older than me and lived across the street from my Grandparents.He and Peggy were great neighbors. We had no air conditioning then and i remember Coach Harton checking the tires about 11 oclock at night to make sure he was keeping the basketball curfew. He was a good friend and a great man.
My thoughts and prayers are with the Hoffman family..I had the pleasure of working for Mr. Hoffman at the Texaco service station. He taught me numerous lessons about vehicles and people that I have used all my life..I shared lots of great times and memories with him..He was a good man and will always be remembered.ÂÂ
Our condolences to Peggy and Gaylond’s family and many friends. He was a great guy and will be missed by all.ÂÂ
We just learned about Gaylon passing. Jean and I send our sincere best wishes to Peggy. I was fortunate to attend
school with Gaylon. I have always thought he had the best pair of hands of any basketball teammate. A good man has
gone to his reward.
