I worked with Hoyt for several years at different Hair Salons. He was so much fun and kept all of us in a good mood, even when circumstances were not all that great. I found him to be intelligent, honest, helpful and a joy to be around. And, of course, he was a skilled and talented hair dresser. He was sociable and liked/loved by all who knew him. He even came to my house on one occasion and planted rose bushes in the yard! My husband and sons also thought very highly of Hoyt. He related easily to people and will be missed by everyone who knew him. He was like a brother to me.
