Dear Gary,
Not sure if you want to run anymore photos but thought you might like Dad’s obit. You have no idea how many people have responded to your blog. I forward all of the messages to mom and she was so pleased at the response. Thank you for doing this

Harvey Hoffman History
Harvey Hoffman was born on October 8, 1923 to Peter and Aneta Hoffman of McClusky, ND. Following a move to Lodi, California to work in the grape vineyards, Harvey entered the military service in March 1943. He was honorably discharged as an Army Sergeant September 1945.
On a military leave in December 1944, Harvey met Alice Dockter Schick of Denhoff, ND. They were married June 14, 1945 in Renton, Washington where Harvey was stationed.
After his discharge from the army, Harvey worked in a Bismarck bakery. Later with his brother, Walter, Harvey opened a bakery in McClusky. In 1951, Harvey returned to Lodi, California with Alice and their two children, Dale and Brenda. Shortly after their move to California, they discovered that Alice and Brenda had tuberculosis. The family returned to North Dakota for treatment for Alice and Brenda at the North Dakota State Tuberculosis Sanatorium at San Haven.
Initially a cook in the hospital kitchens, Harvey soon accepted the job of baker for which he was noted. Harvey worked at San Haven until his retirement in 1986. Alice was employed at San Haven for 28 years – most of them as the Executive Housekeeper – following her release from the hospital in 1953.
Harvey and Alice moved to Rugby, ND after retirement continuing their travels through the 50 United States. The first 17 years of retirement, they wintered in Truth or Consequences, NM frequently visiting their daughter Cynthia and family of Santa Fe. They also fished and camped most of each summer at North Dakota’s Lake Sakakawea.
He was a charter member of the Rugby Eagles Club and a member of the Rugby American Legion, Elks and Moose Clubs. He loved dancing, fishing, visiting with friends around a campfire and cars.
Harvey died of natural causes Sunday January 22. He is survived by his wife of 66 years, Alice; son, Dale, and wife, Loretta, of Phoenix, AZ; daughter, Brenda, and husband, David Pazandak, of Greenville, SC; daughter, Cynthia, and husband, Michael Allstead, of Santa Fe, NM; grandson, David, his wife, Angela, and daughter, Isabella, of Powell, Ohio; granddaughters, Lisa, of Madison, Wisconsin and Michele, of Ponderey, Idaho; brother, Robert, and wife, Corrine, of Baldwin, ND and sister, Marge, and husband, Harvey Lyman, of Bismarck, ND.
His parents, brothers, Walter and Herbert, and sister, Vivian, preceded him in death.
Harvey’s great-granddaughter and three grandchildren are his honorary pallbearers.

  25th Aniversary of the Bottineau Coop Creamery Picture
Posted by Neola Kofoid Garbe: Bottineau & Minot, ND
Hi,
Zelma Brandvold’s copy of this picture was hanging/maybe still is, on the wall at Good Sam, not far from Mom’s room–Zelma’s room was across the hall from the picture. I asked Zelma/Good Sam if I could take the picture home/scan it/return it, which is what I did. I can’t remember if I’ve sent this picture before. Sharon Christensen Langehaug asked me to send a copy to her. Sharon, if I haven’t done so, I apologize.
I found this picture when was going through one of my “boxes” on the net/decided to send it to to some people individually. Gary, I can’t remember if I’ve sent this to you, so here it is.
I recognize MANY of the women–too many to list.
This picture was taken at the 25th Anniversary of Bottineau Co-op Creamery in 1955.

 Joke of the day
Posting from Vivian Clark: Bottineau, ND
Folks, This is one I got from Vivian (Dave III) Clark. Several years ago Vivian moved of off the Clark Farm of 5 generations, all David Clark’s too. She is now living in the Oak Manor apartments in Bottineau.
Vivian, Maybe you can share the above picture with some of your apartment neighbors there in Oak Manor. I am very sure that Lloyd and Orlene Larshus will know the majority of those ladies. Gary
