Glenn D. Hofer was called to his heavenly home on April 14, 2025, surrounded by his loving wife and daughter. Glenn was born November 23,1940, in Dolton, South Dakota to Samuel J and Sarah (Gross) Hofer. He and his family moved to Omaha, Nebraska early in his childhood, where he graduated from Omaha South High School. He attended the University of Nebraska-Omaha graduating with a bachelor’s degree in business accounting. During his time in college at a church social, he met a young woman, Gwendolyn Sonder, who would become his wife on November 23, 1962. They were married for nearly 63 years. They had a daughter and then several years later adopted a son to complete their family.
Glenn served his country with the Army Reserves, where he was honored as a Rifleman. After completion of his service time, Glenn worked for the Federal Internal Revenue Service as a field auditor until he retired in 1999. In retirement, he was always busy keeping abreast of investment strategies, tax laws, property management and the love for his 4 grandchildren, daughter and beloved wife.
Glenn’s legacy is one of kindness, compassion, strength, and inspiration. He is preceded in death by his parents, Samuel J. and Sarah (Gross) Hofer, and son, Craig Hofer.
