It is with great sadness that I am sharing the news of the passing of Theo Hoffman, on October 5th, at the age of 97. Theo was an active birder into his 90's and will be greatly missed.
Theo's family is holding a Celebration of Life on Thursday, October 14th at 6 Railford St. in Aurora. In light of COVID regulations, the family requests that birders and naturalists attend between 4:00 - 5:30. If you will be attending the Celebration of Life, please reply to [email protected] and state the number of attendees.
