Mr. Hoyt...... Sgt. Hoyt...... Carl...... Big daddy..... Old man Hoyt..... Whether it was the guy in a uniform that garnered both my respect and kept me on my toes, or the guy who was my adorable girlfriends imposing father. The friend I could talk to about ANYTHING, (as long as it wasn't illegal, of course). The man who nudged me in the right direction when no other man in my life was there to do so. I can honestly say there has never been a more influential role model in my life than Carl Hoyt. I truly mean that with all my heart. He was there for me at the right time, with the right mindset to point me in a direction I never knew I wanted to go. To this day, when I wake up at 5 a.m. ready and raring to go to work, to earn my own money with my own hands and skills.... It's because of Carl Hoyt. When I've ever made a decision to "make a deal or walk away".... There's Carl Hoyt
whispering in my ear about what to do. Even now, every day, I see what he taught me when I watch my son working beside me and the realization hits me. I'm not the stupid and impetuous kid he sent down the right path 35+ years ago....... I'm HIM. I'm the guy teaching patience, ingenuity, integrity to MY son, every day. Carl Hoyt will never be gone, at least not to me. Because I see him every single day. I will miss him dearly, but to me, there will never be a day that I don't see him or hear him in everything that I do. And I will always love him for that.
Steve and I send our condolences to Joani, Marie, Carl Jr. and the entire family. I met Joani, Marie and Carl as we were leaving the little airport on Gildner Road ( I think Nixon was President ) It was a sunny day and my dad was having a talk with Carl on the side of Carl’s station wagon. Joani and Marie were laughing and crawling around the back of the car. They were full of pure joy, simply bubbling with fun. Shortly thereafter I met Carl Jr and Kim. That day was a fitting introduction to the Hoyts kindness and generosity and I’m so glad we became friends.
As we look back over time
We find ourselves wondering …..
Did we remember to thank you enough
For all you have done for us?
For all the times you were by our sides
To help and support us …..
To celebrate our successes
To understand our problems
And accept our defeats?
Or for teaching us by your example,
The value of hard work, good judgment,
Courage and integrity?
We wonder if we ever thanked you
For the sacrifices you made.
To let us have the very best?
And for the simple things
Like laughter, smiles and times we shared?
If we have forgotten to show our
Gratitude enough for all the things you did,
We’re thanking you now.
And we are hoping you knew all along,
How much you meant to us.
Uncle Carl was a loving man, and an amazing Uncle. We love you Marie, Carl, and Joani. . The Winsor family
Carl and I participated in may prades with the Tigris Shrine I will really miss him driving the 1903 olds. Please accept my sincere condolences at this most difficult time
RIP Carl. Until we meet again.
Jack and I feel so sad at your dad's passing but at least he died peacefully. We had many activities and dealings with him through the years including when we were kids and teenagers. He loved beautiful cars back then and enjoyed driving them. (fast). He will always be remembered.
So sorry to hear of your dad's passing. He was quite a man. I was so impressed with all of his accomplishments. He lived life to the fullest thats for sure. I would never know what vehicle he would be driving one week to the next. But I knew it was Carl by the flags he so proudly displayed. He loved his country. He was a worker from sunrise to sunset. Making hay while the sun was shining. He didn't take life for granted, knowing each day was a gift from God.
A servant, whether in a war as a soldier, walking the beat as a police officer, servings his community and his church. He was a figure to take notice of.
Whenever I had the chance to see Carl I'd ask how's the family?
And you could tell how he loved them, so proud!
His smile grew bigger and his eyes shined brighter. His pride and joy, a man's greatest accomplishment.
Love will be the only thing that one can leave behind !
When we pass from this place, we will stand before God as his child, redeemed by Jesus Christ our savior! Forgiven from our sins and our actions.
And to be told well done my good and faithful servant, now come and rest! Thinking of you! Joe and Tammy Barry
