I don't believe I've seen the notice here, if so, please excuse.

Al passed away 8/19.   For those of us who spoke with him at Collinsville, this 
was doubly shocking as he seemed to be in good condition.   His memory was 
still sharp.  

Anyway - here is the obituary:  
https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/name/alfred-hoffman-obituary?id=62348002

(I know little else - Ted Culotta had a nice writeup in his blog.)

For those wondering who Al was, you can read the Legacy note.  He was a lot 
more, including a brass importer (Aurora Shops), aided in getting other 
importers' brass (and plastic) to be more accurate, a researcher, and 
historian.  
Bob
