I met Rob when my big sister Bernie started dating him.  I was in 9th grade!  It was the first big McAllister wedding and boy was it a blast!  Rob became a brother to me.  He taught me the O game… got me every time and then his signature laugh after that.  He taught me pig Latin.  I became very fluent. We had some excellent conversations.  He would also find a large blade of grass and would tickle my ear or neck and watch me run around like crazy because I thought I had a bug on me … again, insert his signature laugh.  I’m grateful for his quiet wisdom and steadfast faith.  May his memory be a blessing and soften your grief.  My condolences to Bernie, Shannon, Lindsay, Rob’s sisters and all of his beautiful grandchildren.  Rob has the best seat in the house for his Penn State games 💙

Heaven got the Best Dead Head today.

It hurts to lose, but I’m happy Rob is home, and at peace!

My Uncle was what I thought a Father should be

What I try to be like for my kids

He was brilliant, kind, and had a phenomenal sense of humor

If anyone was brave enough and qualified to shoot an “O” to get into the Pearly Gates. it would be Dr. Hoyt!

“Once you know your rules, the game never stops”

Thank You Uncle Bob!

So sorry to hear    May the Lord bring you peace a comfort. Love you

Dr Bob and Bernadette (Bernie) to me have been part of my history since 1975. We all met at Robert Packer Hospital in Pennsylvania. Bernadette and I were nursing students and Robert was a medical student. Bernadette and I said we were never marrying a med student lol and she called on summer break and said guess what? I said you are marrying Bob Hoyt, you lied. lol best decision she ever made! fast forward and we all moved to TN where Dr Bob opened his medical practice and I was his office nurse. Our kids were the same age. We spent so many holidays, concerts, camping trips and birthdays together and watched our kids grow up together from birth. It brought me to a place in my life that transformed it forever! Had me and my family stayed in Pennsylvania in 1984 I am not sure how my life would have turned out. I was blessed to know Robert. We lost touch over the years sadly but the memories are still there and they are good. I have no doubt he is in the presence of God.  Praying for Bernadette, Shannon, Lindsey, the grandchildren and family for peace and comfort. Love to you all!
