Hoyt was my algebra teacher at Vilonia High School. He was a great teacher--knowledgeable, patient and kind. Sending sympathy to his entire family at this difficult time.

We are very saddened to hear of Hoyt's passing. I always enjoyed visiting with him at church and am sorry we couldn't make it to the visitation or the funeral. Eula, Terri, Greg, and Mark, please know that we will be praying for your family during this time. Hoyt was such a "kind man" who always had a smile for you, no matter how he was feeling. I will remember him as a man who loved The Lord and loved his family, and I will sure miss seeing him at church on Sundays. God Bless you all. Romans 8:28
