Theodore Francis Hoffarth
Passed away peacefully with family by his side, early morning Sept. 27th, at the age of 90. Ted was the Loving Father of Francis Hoffarth, Jared (Jane) Hoffarth, Proud Grandpa of Justin Zabojnik, Father in-law to Ken Zabojnik and loved sibling of sister Leona (Chuck) Platz and brother Leslie (Doris) Hoffarth. He was preceded in death by his wife Rose Ann, daughter Faith Ann (Zabojnik), son Terrance and siblings- brothers Norman, Patrick and sister Rita (Beauchamp).
Ted was a book full of stories, a kind and generous soul of forgiveness, that could proudly say that he never cheated anyone. Being raised on a farm in North Dakota, during the 1930's and 40's molded his beliefs and strong faith. In the 50's he moved to Milwaukee and met his true love Rose Ann, they married in 1957. He worked for American Motors, retiring after 32 years, all while doing his landscaping business on the side. Ted and Rose also ran room and boarding at their home in Lannon, WI for over 50 years and helped many people get back on track. If you met Ted, you knew him. He was as real as they come. He will be so missed, with heavy hearts, to whom are all better people for having known him.
