As we say goodbye to AJ Hoffman, we celebrate a life full of small, absurdist joys, a love of art, the macabre, and an endless fascination with the potential of the human spirit. Their sharp mind and patient empathy left an imprint who all had the fortune to befriend them. They bettered the direction of more lives than they will ever know.

Their story may have reached its conclusion, but those who knew AJ will be fondly re-reading the chapters we wrote together the rest of our lives.

Services: Private burial at Paxtang Cemetery in Harrisburg, PA. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. AJ's services were entrusted to Cantelmi Long Funeral Home, Bethlehem. A memory tribute may be placed at www.cantelmifuneralhome.com.

Contributions: In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in AJ's name to the Palestinian Children's Relief Fund.
