Mr. Lofink has three sons and one daughter that live in Georgia, Washington and California.  Two of his sons are Army veterans.  His family goes back 100 years to Santa Ana with his grandmother, father and mother all attending Santa Ana High School.  His father and his mother taught in Santa Ana; his father retired after 39 years of service to the district.  When they can, Mr. Lofink and his partner enjoy traveling.  (Pic posted is from Rapa Nui, Chile)
