Michael J. Hoy's Obituary
Michael J. Hoy, entered into eternal rest on Monday, November 3, 2014 at the NJ Veterans Memorial Home in the Menlo Park section of Edison, NJ. He had previously resided the last two years in the Clara Barton section of Edison.
Born in Jersey City, Michael lived in Hackensack, and Stuart, FL, before moving to Edison in 2009.
Mr. Hoy worked for Lord & Taylor for 27 years in shoe sales and retired from the Paramus store in 1989. Michael served his country in the Army Air Corps during World War II. He also volunteered in the Arts Council of Martin County as docent for many years.
Predeceased by his parents, Michael A. and Jeanette (Murray) Hoy and brothers, William, Edward, Thomas, & Joseph, sisters, Jeanette Mlodzianowski, Theresa Matthews and Veronica McGaughan, he was also predeceased by his roommate, Robert Baldwin.
Michael is survived by his cousins, Regina (Hoy) Duffy and Gertrude (Hoy) Nobel, sister in law, Alberta Hoy, nieces, Regina Hoy-Peer, Elaine Mohrmann and many loving nieces and nephews including his Godson, Thomas McGaughan and Goddaughter, Kathleen (Hoy) Rutsky.
Michael will be remembered for his zest for life, his wonderful wit and his always cheerful personality. He enjoyed traveling, especially going on cruises and had a great affection for the arts. Attending Broadway musicals, art shows and watching what Mother Nature created were his favorite pastimes.
A Mass to celebrate Michael's life will take place Saturday, November 8, 2014 at 10:15 a.m. at St. Francis Cathedral Metuchen. Interment will be private at the Brig. Gen. William C. Doyle Veterans Memorial Cemetery, Wrightstown, NJ
The family wishes to thank all the caregivers that gave wonderful loving care to our Uncle Mickey. During his three and a half years stay at NJ Veterans Home, the caregivers truly went above and beyond to give him a warm and happy environment at all times. For this we truly appreciate all of those on Liberty Unit.
Arrangements are under the direction of the Flynn and Son / Koyen Funeral Home, 319 Amboy Ave. Metuchen, NJ 08840
