Angie, God bless. I hope that you are well. Keep strong. I just found out about your Dad - I was out of town. I still miss & think of your Mom often. Take care

Memories of times we’ve shared will be forever… The barbeques, the pinochle games, the family gatherings… What I remember the most about Art was the look on his face when he was holding the last trump card during one of our pinochle games! It was a pleasure to have known both Art and Mary Kay and to have been a part of their lives.

The John Hoyt Jr. family wishes to express their sincere and deepest sympathy to Angie on the loss of her father, Arthur. When I was young I remember fishing for walleye and muskie with Arthur and my father (John Sr.) in Hayward, Wisconsin on Lost Land and Teal Lakes. Arthur is now at peace and with his beloved wife Mary Kay. Arthur you will be missed. May the blessings of love be upon you and may its peace abide with you.

Sincerely,
John Hoyt Jr.
