This was one of the nicest guys I ever worked with . Never heard him say a bad word about anyone , even me when a prank I was playing on a mutual friend we worked with at Dow backfired and I filled several fingers of his work glove with grease instead of the other fellow ! He was a fabulous story teller . He will be missed !

You can tell a lot about a person by reading their obituary. I know this man had a family that loved him, and looked up to him as a idol. I have set and listened to stories about Hoyt. You were all blessed to have him for thos long, and he was so blessed to have you all. God bless you all. My heart is with you.
