Robert Scott Hoyert, of Audubon, NJ (formerly of College Park, MD) left this world on Sunday, November 3, 2019. He was almost 94, and was predeceased by his loving wife of over 62 years, Frances. Bob served in Europe as a Combat Engineer during World War II, and attended the University of Maryland where he graduated with a B.S. in Accounting and a J.D. in Law. He founded a law partnership with Bill L. Yoho in 1953 and practiced tax and estate law until 2009. Robert was a 32 degree Mason, a Rotarian with 50 years’ perfect attendance, a Paul Harris Fellow, a Jaycee, and Past-President of the College Park Board of Trade. He was very involved with Berwyn Presbyterian Church where he served as an Ordained Elder and President of the Board of Trustees. He enjoyed golf, duckpin bowling, jigsaw puzzles, and watching football games. In 2009, Bob and Frances relocated to Audubon, NJ to be nearer to their daughter, Margaret Ann Westfield, and her family. There they became involved with First Presbyterian Church of Haddon Heights. In addition to his daughter, he is survived by his son-in-law, Michael M. Westfield, granddaughters Marina M. Westfield of Haddon Heights and Emily E.
