Frankly, I think you're way out of line. Hoffman may not be an Italian name, but you seem to denounce the fact that his mother may have been full Italian. Secondly, it is possible that he could of been made being half Italian, it's happened before on multiple occasions. I think it's important I keep an open mind, and the extreme lack of info my family has would contribute to the possibility that he did in fact, not "tell his family, his daughter, or he would have done something else and just said he worked doing that."
