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.

Plato had a way of teaching and you didn't even know you were being taught. With his patience,wisdom and understanding of people I often ponder how and why he became so wise. My only conclusion on this subject to date is; in order to be wise in life one must first live life, in order to be wise on people one must first be the people, in order to be wise on doing one must have done. Plato seldom talked about his past but in his wise perspective on people and life you knew he lived. He lives on today and everyday in the people he touch and is greatly missed. I hope we may live up to your vision and follow through on who you saw us to be.

When ever I had an issue with life I knew i could go to Plato. Not that he would tell me what to do , and how to do it, but give me the direction in which I needed to go. I didn't always understand at the time why he said what he had said, but I always had that moment a few weeks....months....later that said...wow I know exactly what he meant by that. He taught me a lot about myself in the little time I knew him in my life. I will always remember to take his advice to me "dont take it personally". It seems like such a small thing to say and understand, but there truely is a lot of meaning behind that statement. Im glad to have known Plato as long as I did, and im very glad to have been a part of his company! We will forever miss you P .....

Plato was a every-man and a leader, he was wise and he shared his wisdom. I only knew him through work-relaterd interactions but he always brought himself to every encounter and was fully present and generous with his time, his knowledge and his friendship. I am stunned by this loss and I know that the whole community will miss him.

I have known this man most of my life. He has taught me so much about attitudes, the way people think and change. He are a few qoutes that I remember him by:
"Change is the end result of all true learning. Change involves 3 things: 1 a dissatisfaction with self -- a felt void or need; 2 a decision to change -- to fill the void or need; 3 a conscious dedication to the process of growth and change -- the willful act of making the change; DOING SOMETHING." leo buscaglia
"Our lives are not determined by what happens to us, but how we react to what happens; not by what life brings to us, but the attitude we bring to life. A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes. It is a catalyst...a spark that creates extraordinary results." unknown author
A few other things he always told us was: "The difference between everyone is the way they think."
"Don't let someone else mess you up"
and what ever you do "DON'T TAKE IT PERSONAL!" Thanks for all the knowledge and wisdom. ---Master P---
We will miss you!

I never met Plato but have heard many great things about him from my dad, Jim. Both of us are sorry to hear this news and express our deepest sympathies.

Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster. Your life will never be the same again.

Whatever you do, do it to the purpose; do it thoroughly, not superficially. Go to the bottom of things. Any thing half done, or half known, is in my mind, neither done nor known at all. Nay, worse, for it often misleads.
