John Josh R. Hoffman

HOFFMAN, JOHN RICHARD Josh” peacefully ended this life’s journey 4:17AM, 08/20/14. The testimony of a steadfast, immovable man of faith and courage will not soon be forgotten. He has impacted everyone who knew or heard of him and will be greatly missed. But there is now more joy than sorrow in the memory of a ‘Legend’ who is now in the presence of his Lord.He grew up in Miami, graduated Southwest Miami Senior High School in 1963 and then Miami Dade Community College where he studied music for a year. Josh served in the US Coast Guard in 1965-1969 completing his service as an E6 Radarman in March 1969. He worked as an Air Traffic Controller in the FAA from 1969-1975. His life testament cannot be penned in a short account, but the fulfillment of his life’s purpose has been a subject of admiration literally from his Miami hometown to the Ends of the Earth. He invested passion in everything he did - but his investment in the lives of people from the Miami homeless to the Unreached peoples of the Earth has left an eternal legacy.
