RICHARD E. "RICK" HOYT Jr.

I don´t know how I missed your passing, but I just found out today and I´m devastated. You will be missed, just like your dad was missed. I shared your story every year as an inspirational story for my students with special needs. You and your dad are always going to be my heroes. I imagine you actually getting to run, swim, and bike with your dad in heaven.

I continue to think of Rick often and our time together at BU. I will hold the whole family in my heart this holiday season and will be sure to keep Rick, Dick and Judy´s memories alive by sharing stories with my family about road trips, races and summers at Kamp for Kids xo

You were and will be my example of improvement for this life where we no longer have time to say I love you dad, where you managed to express it where you were happy with so little for someone and I could understand that the most precious thing was there in front of you, your gratitude for being alive like this you shared it with your father another example father with all the letters

I was a classmate, dorm mate, friend and PCA for Rick while at BU. I accompanied him and Dick on many races around the country as well as all the way to Barbados. I volunteered with Rick at Kamp for Kids and raced with him in the family van to get to his brothers wedding on time. I have so many fond memories of Rick, Judy and Dick. I am saddened that I was unable to reconnect with Rick over the years despite many efforts and he will always hold a special place in my heart. I´m sure the three...

Rick thank you for showing your perseverance to ride with your wonderful Dad Dick. Not a year went by without the big smile on my face knowing you have completed the best marathon in this country. You guys never gave up. You inspire many impaired but never want to quit because of you and the entire Hoyt team. God bless you and your Dad in Heaven. Thank you for sharing your incredible life and my faith tells me your Dad is right there waiting for you (No wheelchair) no longer needed. R.I.P....
