I just realized yesterday that Dr. Hoyson had passed away far before his time. I was so shocked. He was the best pediatrician I could have ever had for my children; they are adults now so I did not become aware of this at the time. So very sad. Dr. Hoyson was truly a bright light and his passion for taking care of children always shined through. He was one of the rare people able to live life in the present moment. Love and joy were always evident in his smiling blue eyes and kind personality. I see today is his birthdate as well. I’m sure he is celebrating it in the glory of God. I hope his family who he loved so much has found some peace with the passing of time. Thinking of you all and praying for your wellbeing.
My deepest sympathies to the Hoyson family. I would always see Dr. Hoyson at band concerts and events, and he was always such a warm and friendly person to talk to and be around. I will always be grateful that he and Mrs. Hoyson allowed 15+ of us to gather at the house during the holidays, even long after graduating high school. He will truly be missed.
Prayers and condolences to the Hoyson family. Dr. Hoyson was the reason we joined Bellevue Pediatrics. My children did not always get to see him as their doctor but I certainly cherished the times they did. We thank him for his dedication, his kind and caring ways and his humor that always made our visit fun and memorable. He will be missed by so many.
Dr. Hoyson was so wonderful and caring to my 2 sons since their first appointment after being born. My boys are now 17 and 14 and they always looked forward to their yearly visit. Dr. Hoyson always made them laugh and put them at ease. He was so down to earth and he truly cared about his patients. My family is so sad to hear of his passing. We would like to express our deepest sympathy to your family. He will truly be missed.
You don’t know me but I just had to send my condolences. Dr. Hoyson took care of my boys all through their childhood. He was the best! So kind and calm with my 2 sons. And so encouraging. He will be greatly missed.
The Zottola family is so sorry for your loss. Dr. Hoyson had been seeing my children for the last 10 years. He will be greatly missed. Thoughts and prayers to your family. Francesca, Tony, Francesco, Giovanni, Emilia, and Josephine Zottola
Tammie and Family, I feel like I knew your brother over stories you told when you were a student teacher. He was someone people thought so fondly of and spoke about him with such respect. Knowing what a close family you are, I know his passing will be such a great loss. May your memories of him stay forever in your hearts. With Love and Prayers, Kathy Steines
Kathryn, My thoughts and prayers are with you and the entire Hoyson family at this most difficult time.
Sending the Hoyson family love and prayers in their time of grief. Dr. Hoyson was my pediatrician and he will be missed.
Ann So deeply sorry for your loss. Dr Hoyson was a wonderful caring man. Hollinger Family
My condolences to your family. You were a kind and gentile person. Rest now
I was lucky enough to work for a brief time with Dr Hoyson. He was one of the nicest physicians. He took his time to teach us all something. There were little things that he did that brought joy to us all! He will be so missed!!
We are so very sad to hear of Greg’s sudden passing. He was a wonderful doctor and he will be missed.
Dear Hoyson Family, I am so sorry for your loss. I know Greg was a wonderful son, husband, father, brother, and physician. His suffering is over now and my prayers are for your family’s comfort, peace, and healing at this very difficult time.
Dear Katherine and family, What can one say to express sympathy for something so devastating? I am so very sorry for your loss. Your dad was a wonderful doctor, father, and overall human being. I am sure that these words are hollow compared to the depth of the pain that you are feeling right now; but know that you are not alone. There is an entire community, both in Pittsburgh and beyond, that is mourning your dad’s passing. We all carry a piece of him with us as long as we hold the memory of his greatness. My solemn regards, Ryan
Mitch and Family, I am so sorry for your loss. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. Regards, Joe Kurtek
So saddened to hear about your family’s loss, Katherine.
I want to express my sincere sympathy for Greg’s family. He was a wonderful, caring and dedicated pediatrician who will be missed by his patients and their families. Sincerely, Kathy Guatteri President Children’s Community Pediatrics
My sincere condolences to the Hoysin family. Dr Hoyson was my favorite pediatrician . A very kind and gentle Doctor. May he rest in peace.
Dr. Hoyson was one of the greatest guys I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. He was my pediatrician from my first ever doctor’s appointment at 6 weeks old, all the way until he finally told me I was "too old to be seeing him anymore" on my 22nd birthday. I recommended him to EVERYONE who was ever looking for a doctor for their child, and for good reason too. He was more than just a doctor to my family and I – he was a great friend. He fought long and hard and it’s comforting to know he will finally be at peace, watching over each and every one of us… Until we meet again, Dr. Hoyson <3
Greg was a wonderful husband, father, friend and brother-in-law and his smile could light up a room. He will always be in our hearts and our memories. We miss you, Greg. We love you. Leslie and Jerry
"Your heart and my heart are very, very old friends." ~ Hafiz ~ Our hearts are broken today … farewell, dear friend. We pray for your eternal rest in our loving God’s arms, and for your family to have peace and courage to carry on in your loving memory. Forever In Our Hearts, Gay & Herman Pfeffer
To Greg’ Family, Greg will truly be missed by his friends, fellow pediatricians, associate health care providers and his patients. He was always smiling even through his illness and loved to talk about his family. If I saw Greg while he was rounding at Magee, I knew I would hear a story to brighten my day. My prayers and thoughts are with you. A great loss to everyone. Sharon Cowden MD
