I have never met any of Hoy's family after he was an adult but knew him when he was a young boy. His father was my pastor in Van, Texas for several years and preached the sermon that touched my heart to take Jesus as my Savior. He also baptized me. I am now almost 71 and have always held a special place in my heart for Bro. Dickerson and his family. I have wondered so many times where he and his family were. So I was glad I found Hoy's obituary and know that he has spent his life serving the Lord. Surely that must have brought much joy to his dad. May God bless each of you and comfort and give you peace as only He can.
