Roy Henry Hoffman

Roy Henry Hoffman, 81, of Oriental, NC and formerly of West Hurley, NY, passed away suddenly but peacefully on August 1, 2018.

He is predeceased by his wife, Jean, in 2006; and is survived by his two daughters, Terry Visconti of Accord, NY and Barbra Hoffman of Ivor, VA; his son-in-law, John Visconti; two grandchildren, Jacob and Ashley; and his great-grandchildren, Kevin and Matthew.

Roy was the owner of Pamlico Generations, a successful generator sales and service business which he started at the age when most people retire.  He worked nearly every day of his life and had just returned from service calls when he was taken to the hospital.

His creative side was well known and his creations in wood, painting, sculpture, cooking, and construction of everything and anything unusual including his home were always top notch.  He loved to tell stories and had a deep sense of integrity and morality.  During his life he was a devoted husband and father and was very proud of both his accomplishments as well as those of his children.  Roy had a zest for life and lived life on his own terms.  He will be dearly missed.

Services will be held at the Oriental Methodist Church on Saturday August 18, 2018 at 10:30 a.m. with a light reception to follow.
