Guy K. Hoefle, 89, of East Moline, IL, died Tuesday, November 19, 2013 at Clarrisa Cook Hospice House, Bettendorf, IA. A memorial talk will be at 9AM Monday at Van Hoe Funeral Home Ltd., East Moline with graveside services following at 10:00AM Monday at Beulah Cemetery. Born Aug. 29, 1924 in Milan, Illinois, died Nov. 19, 2013 in Bettendorf, Iowa, Guy "Kenny" Hoefle lived a full life of duty, work, and interest. After being awarded the Purple Heart for wounds received during the battle of Iwo Jima in 1944, and stateside service in the Nat'l Guard during the Korean war he carried on the family concrete business successfully until retirement in 1978. Much of his work is still visible as many sidewalks stamped with the Hoefle name can still be found in and around the City of Rock Island. Along the way Kenny fathered 3 children: Cheryl Reed, Ken Hoefle and Debbie Keefe, sold real estate, developed property in Prairie du Chien, WI (where he eventually relocated) and enjoyed many active outdoor interests from fishing to hunting native artifacts, as well as in Zapata, Texas, his winter home for many years. Throughout his long life many knew Kenny as the respectful, kind and hardworking man they saw on the job or at the supper club, still few knew of his deeper complexities. Beneath the plain facade, reading, history, poetry, and bird watching balanced the otherwise clean cut and competitive man. Like so many of his generation Kenny was born with less but still made more of all that which stood before him; hard work and a sharp mind built the memory of him we keep today and will miss moving forward. Survivors include his daughter, Deborah J. (Jerry) Keefe, East Moline, IL; son, Kenneth R. Hoefle, Boquete Chiriqui, Panama, Central America; 11 grandchildren, 8 great-grandchildren. He is preceded in death by his parents; wife; daughter, Cheryl Reed.
