Amos Derby Hoyt

Amos was a wonderful and very entertaining man. He had a huge influence on me when I worked for him in the summers as a teenager. He was a great teacher and taught me a lot, from construction and landscape work to truck driving and heavy equipment operation (although he once told me never to claim to be a carpenter). Everyone in town seemed to know Amos and would exchange waves with him as we drove past. I looked up to Amos and will always remember him fondly.

I first met Amos 11 years ago when I moved into Rogers House. We quickly learned he taught @ Hanover High while I was a student there. Amos was warm, welcoming & brought out the best in people. I will forever remember the Christmas gatherings Amos & his family hosted @ Rogers House for years. They were always the hilight of the season for many of us. My condolences to all those who loved Amos. He was one of a kind. RIP Amos.
