I was saddened to hear about the passing of Uncle John. He was such a kind, generous and compassionate man. We are all fortunate for having known him and having him in our lives helped enrich us and become better people in our lives.

I still have fond memories of Sunday afternoons at the Hoyt household for dinner, be it after a St. Rita football game, or just visiting with Uncle John, Aunt Mary, Auntie, and John.

God Bless You in your time of sorrow. Take solace in knowing that John was as loved, as he was a loving caring family man.

We mourn the loss of beloved John and regret that health considerations prevent me attending the funeral.

Mary and family,

It was such a pleasure to know John. He was a kind and caring man. I know that Mary Anne appreciated both of you during her Mom's illness and during her lifetime.

Love,
Reenie
