Our father, John W. Hoyer, who served on the USS Dennis, passed away on March 27, 2010.

He was very proud to be in the US Navy, and to serve on the USS Dennis. He loved to deep sea fish in his retirement years. We would go down to the New Jersey shore in the summer and I remember him sitting on the deck of the hotel with binoculars, watching the ships and sail boats. He never talked much about the war days and his experiences, just his pride of being in the Navy.

My brother and I were very lucky to have him in our lives. He was a very hard working man and did everything he could to keep our family happy. He was one great man and a great father.

In this time of deep sadness we send best wishes to all our Veterans - to all the men and women who served in the armed forces.
