Preceded in death by parents Arthur and Edna Hoyt; wife Gayle; brother Wayne; and son Larry. Bruce was a long- time resident of Bloomington, MN where he founded and operated successful businesses including Hoyt Construction Inc., Vinyl Therm Inc., Complast Inc., and Hoyt Development. He knew the name of every employee and was a great boss. He and Gayle were fortunate to buy a home on Sanibel Island early in life, and built a home at Fiddlesticks Country Club in Fort Myers after it opened in 1985. After Gayle’s death in 2004, Bruce got lucky a second time and lived a happy life with Sheila (Kelly). He graduated from Edison High School in Minneapolis and had 4 children by the time he was 23. He was hard-working, smart and knew how to take risk. His legacy is carried on by his sons, who own Continental Property Group and Hoyt Properties Inc. in Minneapolis. Bruce was a long-time member of Minnesota Valley Country Club and a founding member of the Decathlon Club. He served as President of the National Remodelers Association, and was a board member of the Better Business Bureau. Private services for the family will be held at Mt. Olivet Lutheran Church (Minneapolis), followed by interment, on December 21. A celebration of his extraordinary life will be held next summer. The family wishes to thank the many friends who have offered their condolences. He lived a full life. May his memory be eternal.
