CHARLES EVERETT HOYT (Age 80)  
Of Washington, DC, on December 20, 2017, after a brief illness, surrounded by his loving family. He was born in New York City on January 30, 1937, to Red and Betty Hoyt and grew up in Cold Spring Harbor, Long Island. Charlie graduated from the Phillips Exeter Academy in 1955 and from Yale in 1959. He then spent three and a half years in the US Army, followed by the University of Virginia Law School. After graduation he joined the law firm of Winthrop, Stimson, Putnam & Roberts, then spent the remainder of his career at Mobil Oil Corporation. Charlie was an avid sportsman, photographer, lover of music and fine wine shared with friends. He actively supported academic and musical not-for-profit organizations, serving on the boards of Washington Area Lawyers for the Arts, Choral Arts Society of Washington, and Levine Music, as well as fund-raising for Exeter, Yale, and UVA Law. He is remembered for his infectious enthusiasm, adventurous spirit, passion for music, love of people, generosity and compassion, and lifelong friendships.  Charlie is survived by his wife, Deborah Weinberger; daughters Samantha Lindgren (Don) of Alfred, ME, and Victoria Hoyt Dick (John) of Orinda, CA; his brothers Anthony S. and William W. Hoyt; two grandchildren (Charlie and Hawley), and many nieces and nephews.  A celebration of his life will be held on Saturday, February 3, 2018, from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Chevy Chase Club, 6100 Connecticut Ave, Chevy Chase, MD. In lieu of flowers the family suggests donations to his alma maters or to Levine Music, 2801 Upton St NW, Washington, DC 20008.
