Alexander Francis Hofer

Alexander Francis Hofer was born on August 18, 1998, within 8 minutes of noon on his due date. He was eager to get things going from the very beginning-walking, then running, at 7 months, before he really learned how to crawl. He set the pace from there. His interests were broad and he learned quickly to be the center of attention, in nearly always good ways. His enthusiasm, generosity, friendly smile, engaging personality, quick wit, and real interest in all people and their well-being were major parts of who he was and who he became.
Alex was a kind, considerate, and loving young man and was loved by so many of us. Throughout his life, Alex grew from close and caring relationships with family, friends of all ages, and outstanding teachers. Alex was a force to be reckoned with and we are all the better for it. We miss him so very much. His last words to us were "I will always love you with all of my heart, be happy, and stay fresh." Alex is survived by his sisters Emma and Katherine, mother Andrea Piccinin, father Scott Hofer, aunts and uncles Gregory (Natalie) Hofer and Laura Piccinin (Paul Dissanayake), and grandparents Sergio and Sheila Piccinin, Joan (Leo) Massicotte, and Gary (Fusae) Hofer .
