On March 19, 1932, he was married to Miss Elda Mewis, at Sealy, who survives him along with his mother, Mrs. Louisa Hoff; two sons, Edgar A. Hoff and Karl Richard Hoff; two sisters, Mrs. Fred Calhoun of Ennis and Mrs. Sam Brooks of Cochran, and four brothers, Theodore Hoff of Houston, Henry Hoff of Texas City, Charles Hoff of Marrero, La., and Edwin Hoff of Ville Platte, La.
