Not sure what to say?

I'll always remember the father/son bond, that was expressed with great love, honor, determination and decency. They both touched my heart, where their memory remains.

What an amazing life what a hero what a champion Yes you can ! Yes he did ❤

My Condolences.

Love and prayers to the Hoyt family ! If Rick was anything like his brother Robbie then he was a great man ❤

When I went to Fort Meadow School in Westfield back in 1975, since I was the new kid, I got to go to lunch early and help Ricky with his food (he could be a little messy). It was just the two of us in the cafeteria. He had just gotten a new computer that allowed him to type and I was pretty blown away with what he was able to do despite his handicap. I've always been so proud of that connection as I watched Ricky take on the racing world with his dad. So very inspiring. My condolences to...

What an inspiration and gift to this world your brother was! God bless Rick and the rest of your family !

Sorry for your loss. Hugs and prayers to you and your family during this time. His life and story has touched many!
