Mr Hoyle will be missed. I knew him all of my life. My fondest memory is when I was very young, about five or six, and I was going over their house to see Jay. Mr Hoyle would have me sit with him in the yard and we would meditate. I was only good for a minute or two before I got stir crazy and he knew it.
There was another time when I worked third shift at Triangle Wire and Cable. Mr Hoyle, the general manager, came in one night and said that he walked up to myself and another guy and we never even noticed him because we were so engrossed in the game of chess we were playing instead of working. Heads rolled the next day!
The Hoyle's were and still are my extended family and we all will miss him but always remember the good times.

During my time at the Academy I soon realized he had as good a grasp of USCGA, as anyone. He was supportive of others, kindly to them and enjoyed their company. I believe he gave the institution financial continuity.

I will always recall Fred with affection. He was a straight shooter, gave me good advice and a friend. I am sure he is now checking out the heavenly fairways and on a course without sand
traps or water hazards; every shot is a hole-in-one.

My sincerest sympathies go out to the Hoyle family. Fred was an honorable, respectable person that I had the pleasure of knowing as a friend, and worked with early in my career. He was a True Gentleman. Our thoughts are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort .

Fred was my supervisor here at the USCG Academy. This morning a few of us shared stories of Fred with smiles on our faces. He was very much loved and respected here at work. I can see him now,standing in the hallway swinging that golf club. My prayers go out to the family and may your memories of happy times carry you all thru this difficult period. Rest in Peace.
