Beverly (Bob) Hoffmaster 2/9/26 to 3/1/2021 Bob died following surgery after suffering a broken hip in a fall on February 27. Born in Santa Ana, except for two years serving in the Army Air Corps in 1944-45, he spent the first 53 years of his life living and working in all parts of California as a civil engineer in water resources: first with the State of California and then with San Diego County. Although his bachelor’s degree was in Public Administration he passed the test and became a licensed Professional Engineer following graduation from San Diego State.
In 1979 Bob accepted a job with the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District in Colorado (now Mile High Flood Control), from which he retired in August, 1991. In 1998 he was asked to serve on the Board for the District.
Bob was a loyal member of Kiwanis Clubs wherever he lived and attended his last online meeting of the Kiwanis Club of Aurora in February. He served as District Administrator of Kiwanis Key Clubs in the 1990s. He also was a devoted member of Calvary Baptist Church of Denver until his death.
Bob’s parents Burr and Amy Hoffmaster, siblings Keith, Lee, Sherley, and Albert, and his first wife Celia preceded him in death. He is survived by his loving family: wife Nancy; sons Wesley (Lyn), Darrel (Beverly); granddaughters Jennifer Christian (Jeff), Christina Hoffmaster, Elisa Evans (Jon); great grandchildren Cole Christian, Reese Norris (Austin); stepsons Steve (Melissa) Clement, Tom (Christy) Clement, and Bret (Cindy) Clement; step-grandchildren Evan, Elaina, Sam, Sloane, and Travis Clement. All who were lucky enough to know Bob knew he was loyal and devoted to his family and friends and his laughter was known far and wide.
A private inurnment will be held at Olinger Crown Hill in March and a virtual service for his many friends and family will be April 24, 1:30 p.m. lead by Rev. Anne Scalfaro of Calvary Baptist Church.
