Harold "Kelly" A. Hoy

Kelly lived a life he loved. He grew up in Garibaldi, OR where his family was involved in the fishing industry. He was a talented high school athlete and went on to play sports at OCE and earn a degree in Education. He married his high school sweetheart Sue, had four children, and was lucky enough to have a career he loved. He taught and coached in the Coos Bay School District for 34 years. Many people may remember Kelly from the Pied Piper, the Eastside restaurant that the Hoys owned for 11years.

When cancer took Sue, he remained active, golfing, traveling, woodworking, and spending time with his family. Then one day while having lunch with his grandson, Barb walked into the restaurant and that was the start of 27 happy years.

Kelly volunteered many hours for ODFW and would take on any woodworking project no matter how big or small. He was part of the original group that started Seabreeze Basketball Camp and helped develop many young basketball players in the area. He did some volunteering in both his daughters’ classrooms and loved donating Turkeys to local Elementary school Turkey Trots. We were lucky to have him in our lives.

Kelly was preceded in death by his wife Sue Hoy and wife Barb Hoy, his parents Mark and Veda Hoy, brother Bill Hoy and sister Jane Fiddler.

Kelly is survived by his children, Allan and Debbie Hoy, David and Anne Hoy, Lorallan Hoy, Cindy and Mike George, April Hoy, 9 grandchildren, and 9 great grand children.
