Myron was born on January 6th, 1935 in Downing, Wisconsin to Gordon and Viola Hoitomt. He graduated from Glenwood City High School. He fell in love and married Janice Matter, the love of his life, on January 28th, 1958. They were together for nearly 64 wonderful years.
Myron worked as a Farmer, Welder, Carpenter, and Quality Assurance Director for Meyer Industries. When he retired, he started his own consulting business. He was a “Jack of all trades” and a master of most.
He was a wonderful father to four children, which he devoted his life to caring for and working hard for.
He was also the most caring and wonderful grandfather and great-grandfather, attending any performance, concert, or game that he could.
Myron loved to travel, especially with his wife. He traveled to all 50 states including Puerto Rico. He also traveled to France, Jerusalem, Denmark, Jordon, Mexico, and Canada.
He enjoyed hunting with his son and brother. He hunted for a variety of game such as deer, turkey, duck, and even prairie dog.
Myron always had an ear to bend if you needed someone to talk to or ask a question. He was incredibly knowledgeable on any subject. He was never at a loss for words and could strike up a conversation with anyone. He loved to read books and was always educating himself.
With all of his great achievements in life, the thing that Myron was most proud of was his family; you could not have asked for a more selfless, kind, and thoughtful man. He will forever be missed and deeply loved, but continues to live on in what he would call his life’s greatest work - his family.
