So very sorry to hear of your brothers passing. Sending you all my love and deepest sympathy!
I worked with Hoyt at I.T.S.I. and my wife worked with Donna Jean at E. Wilson Morrison School.
We are so proud to have know them. Nice people.
I am sorry to learn of Hoyt’s death. I was his 11th grade English teacher at Mosby, and while English was not his favorite subject, I managed to pull him through. Seeing him years later at class reunions I was very impressed that he had been successful and was a fine gentleman. I shall always remember him.
Donna Jean and Junior were a nice couple and some of the best In Front Royal. I’ve always know Hoyt as Junior, he was always nice, polite and friendly.
Junior was a good man. He was always willing to give of himself when he felt a friend or neighbor was in need. He will be missed by many. Rest in peace my friend.
I worked with Junior at IGA foodliner on water st in FR growing up as a teenager. Jr taught me the meat trade and I went on to become a meat mgr, meat supervisor, store manager. Wow, the stories Jr used to tell me while we cut meat on the block back there in the meat Dept. Jr was charismatic and loved sports and was pretty good w his fists too, lol I learned so much from Jr and enjoyed my time spent there and other places w him! Condolences to the family and I’m sure like me they will treasure the memories and caring that was Jr everyday…
Rest in Peace Hoyt, thanks for being my teammate , co-worker and life long friend
I worked with his wife, Donna, at E. Wilson Morrison School. I send my sympathy to his family.
