MORLEY ERNEST HOFFMAN It is with deep sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Morley Hoffman on Tuesday, July 30, 2013 at his home in Winnipeg, Manitoba at the age of 58 years. Left to survive Morley are his brother Garry (Sandra) of Winnipeg; sister Gail (Russ) of Campbell River, B.C.; brother Irwin (Penny) of Tuffnell, Saskatchewan; nieces (Shanna, Melanie, Jill, Lana, Sarah, Rachel, Heidi); nephew (Alexander); as well as numerous great-nieces/nephews; relatives and friends. He was predeceased by his parents, Paul and Irene Hoffman. Morley grew up on a farm in Tuffnell, Saskatchewan as the youngest of four children. He enjoyed fishing, curling and was an avid card and game player. Playing a game with Morley was a competitive sport, he would play fair but he was playing to win. He also enjoyed teasing and poking fun of his family and friends in a good natured way, which was often followed by his trademark "Morley chuckle". In his professional days, Morley moved to Calgary, Alberta and then Winnipeg where he enjoyed a career at Mediacom hanging billboards around the city. Unfortunately, an accident on the job in February 1999 led to him being wheelchair bound for the latter part of his life. There were many ups and downs through the years, but these challenges were made easier through the support of his family and friends. Lyle and Leo were great friends to Morley, often helping him and spending time playing cards or visiting him. He also developed a special relationship with his homecare providers, in particular Lauren. She went above and beyond to take care of Morley and provide companionship to him. Morley also had two cats, John-Paul and Garry, who brought him love and entertainment through the years. Although he was sometimes a little gruff on the exterior, he had a kind heart and his love for his family and friends was always felt and will be missed. A Celebration of Morley's Life will be held on Tuesday, August 27, 2013 at 1:00 p.m. in the Chapel of Memories in Wojcik's Funeral Chapel, 1020 Main Street @ Manitoba Avenue. In lieu of flowers, donations can be sent to the Winnipeg Humane Society, 45 Hurst Way, Winnipeg, Manitoba R3T 0R3.
