Edward Bernard Hoff, American Legion member

Edward Bernard Hoff, 87, of Millsboro, passed away at his home Tuesday, Sept. 1, 2020, following a lengthy illness.  Ed was born on March 27, 1933, in Owings Mills, Md., where he lived until retiring in 1987 to Delaware.  He was preceded in death by parents, John Bernard and Kate Elizabeth Hoff.

He retired from the correctional department of the state of Maryland, and then again from the state of Delaware.  He was a lifetime member of the Owings Mills Volunteer Fire Department, lifetime member and past commander of Owings Mills VFW Post 521, and a lifetime member of Oak Orchard/Riverdale American Legion Post 28.  

He was predeceased by spouses Hilda Mae and Nanci R. Hoff.  He is survived by his daughter and son-in-law, Debi Chronister and Chuck Griffith.

After serving in the Air Force during the Korean War, he dedicated many years of civic service to the VFW and American Legion.  He loved spending time at Legion Post 28 since moving to Delaware and so enjoyed his Legion Family, especially after the loss of his beloved wife and soulmate Nanci.

Services will be held privately at the Delaware Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Millsboro.
