Plato Wyatt Hoyle, age 62, passed peacefully away at home Sunday, March 15, 2009, following a courageous battle with cancer.  

He was born September 20, 1946, in the city of Charlotte.  Plato was the beloved son to the late Plato and Virginia Hoyle.  They resided in Mooresville, NC.

Plato served in the United States Marine Corp from 1966-1972 as a Lance Corporal Platoon leader.   Later, in 1986, Plato founded Pro-Tint, Inc., He was also a member of the Cabarrus County Chamber of Commerce.

He was an active member of St. Luke's Reformed Church, where he regularly attended the Pairs and Spares Sunday School Class and Men’s Fellowship.  Plato was one of our most avid supporters of the church’s kids’ ministry, Discovery Club. 

On October 14, 2001, he married the love of his life, Shirley Barbee Hoyle, becoming an instant stepfather to four children: and eight grandchildren.

Plato was a friend and mentor to many.  His company, under the leadership of business partner Steve Fricker, will continue to follow this modern-day philosopher’s vision  - a team of professionals who excel at creating solutions that meet customers’ needs by providing the very best products, customer service and quality work.
