Mr. Hoyt, May your heart find comfort in your fun memories of your sons. Dennis & I were friends for many years. He had a wonderful heart and always stayed in touch with my parents through the years. He always made those around him laugh. He was special and will be missed.

Pierce, I'm so sorry to learn of your loss - I'm out of state and can't personally talk with you. I'll think of you often, and, if Bob had not already passed away, he would join in my regrets. Bob always thought a lot of you, Joanne and your family. Please accept my condolences.

You left us so soon. You left us with many childhood memories of growing up and most often heartfilled joy. You were like a brother to most of us. And you were often lost at other times. Although we did not keep in touch you always managed to stay in touch with my mother and we would send messages back and forth. May peace be with you now. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends with my deepest sympathy.

You left so soon. You also left us with heartfilled childhood memories often funtimes, you seemed to be a brother to many of us, and you also had your lost times. You touched many hearts and even though we did not continue to stay in touch you always stayed in touch with my mother and we'd go thru her with our messages. I hope and pray you are now free and at peace ,no longer in pain. My deepest sympathy goes out to all the family and friends.
