Born Nov. 8, 1948 in Sterling, Ill. to Glenn and Garnett Hoffman, he graduated from Sterling High School in 1966. Fred then attended Western Illinois University where he met his wife, Pamela Sue Rigsby. They married after graduation and both began their teaching careers.

Upon his discharge, he used the GI Bill to attend Loyola University for his master’s degree and then The University of Illinois at Chicago School of Law (formerly the John Marshall Law School) where he earned his JD. He clerked for a year in Quincy, Ill. before he began practicing law in central Illinois. Fred was an attorney for over 25 years in Pekin, Ill., Peoria, Ill. and then Detroit, Mich., when he pivoted back to teaching and became a professor at Oakland University.

Upon his retirement in 2016, he and Pam moved to Yarmouth, Maine to be closer to their grandkids.

He is survived by his son, Kirk (Tiffany) and grandchildren Alice and Timothy of Falmouth; his brother, Steve (Barb) of Muscatine, Iowa, and his brother, Jim (Nancy) of West Branch, Iowa.
