Although he had seen many exotic places in his travels, home was still at his Pinnebog roots. Part of his retirement included active involvement in the Kinde Fire Department, and Meade Township Supervisor. He was passionate about family and friends, enjoyed a good story, and had an engaging laugh that quite simply drew one to be in his company. He was a child of depression-era parents, Harry and Helen (McArdle) Hyzer, and inherited a work ethic, integrity to principle, and personal commitment to the value of his given word.

The family has arranged for a private memorial and appreciate the support and encouragement of all his friends through the course of his extended illness
