Albert J "Rocky" Hoffart went home to be with the Lord this past week. He was a man who enjoyed his life. A man who was a blessing to many, but a hard man. Born in 1928, and raised in the depression he saw many changes in his 80 + years. His brother said that they broke the mold on him..I am not sure there was a mold! He loved to tell stories about his early life on a dairy farm around Houston. One of the best BBQ cooks I have ever met and he loved to build his own pits. With a welder and pipe he could build just about anything.
Full blood German, he had a bumper sticker that said " you can always tell a German, you just can't tell him much". That fit Rocky!
He was the best judge of fair animals I have ever seen. He would travel all around the county helping kids pick the best chickens, rabbits, turkeys, pigs and steers. He was involved with our church activities, cooking mainly for the past 25 years, and other parrishs before that!
We will miss you my friend.
God Bless you Brother!
Mathew 25
The Judgment of the Nations
31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats, 33 and he will put the sheep at his right hand and the goats at the left. 34 Then the king will say to those at his right hand, ‘Come, you that are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; 35 for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, 36 I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.’ 37 Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry and gave you food, or thirsty and gave you something to drink? 38 And when was it that we saw you a stranger and welcomed you, or naked and gave you clothing? 39 And when was it that we saw you sick or in prison and visited you?’ 40 And the king will answer them, ‘Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family,[g]you did it to me.’
