Lost my best friend today
 

My dad, Bill Hoffman suddenly past away today.....he went through a lot the last nine months and I thought things were getting better. But, his heart gave out on him and now he's with the love of his life; my mother Marie. I'll miss him very much. He loved racing just as much as I do. He so wanted to meet everyone at Saratoga this coming year, since he was sick last year. He was a great guy and so easy to get along with.
R.I.P Dad... you were a wonderful father :(

Very sorry to hear about your loss, you and your family will be in my prayers.

HHH, adding my condolances and have to say how very lucky you were to have a father you were that close to. This rides not forever for any of us. Knowing what is important and having a dad like that is something you can be very glad in your heart that you will always have inside.

A heartfelt thank you to all

Thanks guys for all the well wishes and support you have given myself and the family at the time of dad's death. It is great to know that there are people out there who are caring and wonderful as you. I told dad about the nice people on this site and how we're all one big family. It will be tough when the Derby rolls around and when Saratoga starts this year, but I will know he'll be watching from up there and looking for a place to bet! Thanks again.

Mark Hoffman and family
