Arthur Henry Hoffman was born on Feb. 6, 1927, in Tomahawk, to Frank and Helen (nee Haug) Hoffman. He was raised and received his education in the Tomahawk area, where he attended Mitchell School. His family moved to a farm in Loyal in 1944. Art worked on the farm until being inducted into the U.S. Army on Sept. 22, 1950. After his discharge from the service on Aug. 23, 1952, he returned to Loyal and worked on the family farm until taking it over in 1955. He and his brother, Walt, owned and operated the farm until 1989, at which time they sold the farm and moved into Loyal. He resided in Loyal until moving to Stoney River Assisted Living in Weston in 2014. He was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church, Loyal American Legion Post #175, Neillsville V.F.W. Post #2441, and the 40 & 8 Group 821 Wisconsin. Art had many interests, but especially enjoyed fishing and bowling. In appreciation for the many hours of volunteer work for the American Legion and the community, Arthur and his brother, Walter, were honored by the Loyal Chamber of Commerce as citizens of the year in 2013.

He is survived by one sister, Blanche Scharnick, Brookfield; one brother, Walter Hoffman, Weston; and nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents; one brother, Edward Hoffman; and three sisters, Myrtle Ehlke, Elsie Fyke and Gladys Town.
