I just got the word of Hoyt's passing. He was an inspiration to me in my early career at Exxon and a good friend. We'll all miss him, but know that he's in a better place.

Nancy and I were very sad to see that both Hoyt and Mary Ellen have passed.

We go back a long time ago when we were forming the Terry Town Country Club and then on as Hoyt would visit my office (I was a State Farm Agent from '65 - '99).

He was just a prince of a guy.
