Hoar - Promotion (Photo, age 31) Published Tuesday, March 10, 1964 Lowell, Massachusetts Obituary The Lowell Sun Updated: 03/05/2010 07:01:24 AM EST LOWELL -- Bill Hoar, who ran local Golden Gloves boxing shows for the past 24 years, died on Wednesday night at age 77 after battling cancer. Hoar's passing hit the local boxing community hard. Amid grief is worry about replacing a seemingly irreplaceable force on the local boxing scene. "Everything ran perfectly with Bill in charge. He loved the Golden Gloves," said Arthur Ramalho, proprietor of the West End Gym and director of contestants for the Golden Gloves. Hoar was tournament director for the Greater Lowell and New England Tournaments since 1986. "Lowell always had the premier Golden Gloves show. Billy made it more premier," said Dick Viau, director of operations for the Gloves shows. Hoar, a Lowell native who resided in Chelmsford with his wife Susan and son Devin, was already slated to be inducted into the National Golden Gloves Hall of Fame in May. ~ William Henry Hoar Lowell Sun Executive, Greater Lowell & New England Golden Gloves Tournament Director CHELMSFORD -- William H. Hoar, the beloved husband of Susan (Bastianelli) Hoar, passed away Wednesday evening, March 3, 2010, at Lowell General Hospital, surrounded by his loving family. Bill fought a brief but courageous battle with cancer. He was 77 years old. William Henry Hoar was born in Lowell on April 22, 1932, the only son of the late Henry J. and Ruth T. (Johnson) Hoar. He was a graduate of the Sacred Heart Grammar School, class of 1945 and Keith Academy, class of 1949. For eleven years, Bill was married to Alice (Alves) Hoar, who died of leukemia in 1969 at the young age of 31, leaving him with a 10-year-old daughter, Susan. Bill remained a widower for 20 years before marrying his wife, Susan on December 31, 1988. Together they had just celebrated their 21st wedding anniversary a little more than two months ago. Bill started his career in the newspaper business with the Lowell Sun in 1951. Over the years, he worked his way up the ranks within the company. Bill spent most of his career as the Circulation Manager for the newspaper. He retired in April of 1997 as the Transportation Manager for the Sun, concluding a career that spanned over 46 years. Under President Carter's administration, Bill was a friendship ambassador with the Friendship Force, an organization that promoted interrelations and exchange with people from Europe. Bill was chosen because of his characteristics as a "people person." Bill was also a source of help to his friend, John Tighe when John's wife, Philly passed away at a young age, leaving John with five boys to raise. John passed away just six weeks ago and Bill was able to attend his funeral services. Bill Hoar cultivated friendships his entire life. "He was never inconvenienced if he was helping someone he cared about," his wife recalled. He was good to a fault, humble, and a gentleman's gentleman. Bill was a longtime officer of The New England Association of Circulation Executives. Currently, he held the position of Secretary. Bill served as the 69th President of NEACE in 1986, and is one of only 10 individuals to have been awarded NEACE's Circulation Executive of the Year. Bill won the award in 1993. The William Hoar Executive Excellence Scholarship, the only scholarship bearing anyone's name at NEACE, was first awarded on May 20, 2003. The annual scholarship was named to recognize Bill's outstanding service and many contributions to the organization. Bill earned the nickname, "Mr. NEACE" for his dedication. Bill was a longtime season-ticket holder for the New England Patriots. He was a friend of Billy Sullivan, the former team owner, and had traveled with the team on many occasions when they played on the road. As a football fan, he also attended many Super Bowls and interviewed players and coaches from championship teams. Back at home, the weekly Patriots games were a cherished family outing for Bill, Susan, and their son, Devin. Bill and his family also enjoyed traveling to Ireland and other destinations in Europe. Bill may best be remembered for his involvement with the Golden Gloves. He had been affiliated with Golden Gloves Boxing since its early years. The tournament just celebrated its 64th season. Bill was the Tournament Director for the Greater Lowell and New England Golden Gloves Boxing Tournaments since 1986. He was also involved with Nationals every year. Bill was affiliated with USA Boxing and held different positions over the years. He also forged many friendships within the boxing community. One such friendship was with the Fullmer boxing family of Utah. The three Fullmer brothers, Gene, Don, and Jay, were all professional boxers. Gene Fullmer is a former middleweight champion, and Bill and his family would make annual trips to Utah to visit with Gene and his family. Bill finished his final season with the Gloves, and the void he has left with this institution will never be filled. His dedication to boxing was second only to the dedication he had to his wife and family. Bill's core was his family and his wide circle of friends. Surviving Bill are his wife, Susan Hoar of Chelmsford; his son, Devin Hoar of Chelmsford, a student at UMass Lowell; his daughters, Susan Alice Alves of Boston's Jamaica Plain, and Julie LaGrassa and her husband, Antonio of Dover, NH; his grandchildren, Mia and A.J. LaGrassa of Dover, NH; his only sister, Barbara R. Hoar of Lowell; his brothers-in-law, Daniel J. Alves and his wife, Ann Marie of Lowell, and Manuel Alves and his wife, Nancy of Plainville, IL; his sister-in-law, Sandra Patria and her husband, Kenneth of Somersworth, NH; five cousins; and an assembly of dear friends too numerous to mention by name.

The depression caused his family many hardships, and his father supported the family, which included Hoar, his mother and a brother Johnny, by selling books, advertising, and serving as a lieutenant in the Civilian Conservation Core. His father served during World War II and rose to the rank of colonel and received the Purple Heart. He then purchased the Troy Messenger, a daily newspaper in Troy, Alabama, so Jere Hoar finished high school at Troy High and helped his father with the newspaper. Hoar worked in the print shop, but by the time he was sixteen, he was the police reporter. At age seventeen, he became the editorial writer for the newspaper. In an interview with SHS student, Kim Lehman, Hoar says that it was at this point that he decided to become a journalist (Lehman). Hoar served in the Air Force during the Korean War, earned undergraduate and graduate degrees from Auburn University, the University of Mississippi, and the University of Iowa. For thirty years, he taught journalism at the University of Mississippi and is now professor emeritus. While teaching at the University of Mississippi, Hoar won the Outstanding Teacher Award in 1974. He published more than forty scholarly articles, six monographs, three television scripts, and a chapter in a textbook. Hoar also "read law" in the Mississippi Perceptorship Program. Later, he passed the bar exam and was admitted to the Mississippi Bar. After retiring from teaching journalism, Hoar began writing short stories. Reviews of his work have been published in the New York Times, Booklist, and Bookman News. Hoar published a collection of eleven short stories entitled Body Parts in 1997. His first published novel, The Hit retains the short story style. It was published in 2003. Hoar has won many honors for both his teaching and his writing. In teaching, he won the Outstanding Teacher Award and was invited as a visiting professor at other universities, including King's College in London, England. For his writing, Hoar's awards include Pirate's Alley, William Faulkner Prize, The Deep South Writers Conference Competition, and the Kansas Arts Council/KQ award. Currently, he is working on a "coming-of-age" novel that has a working title, Preacher Boy, as well as a a novel inspired by the grandmother he never knew; both will be set in the South in the 20th Century. E-Mail Interview with Jere Hoar by Kimberly Lehman (SHS) May 3, 2000 1. Where did you grow up? I was born in Dyersburg, TN., but moved away (with the help of my parents) when I was two. I lived many places--Barnwell, S.C., Provo, Utah, and Minersville, CA, for example, in one year. I attended thirteen schools before being graduated from high school, and lived in a far greater number of towns --most of them in the South. Because the Depression had crippled the economy, my father activated his commission when he could, and served as a lieutenant in the Civilian Conservation Corps. At other times before 1941 he sold yearbooks, sold advertising, and managed a furniture store. He was a lieutenant in the Army at Maxwell Field in Montgomery, AL, when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. He volunteered that day for overseas duty, and soon shipped out to the Pacific Theatre, where he rose to the rank of Colonel and was awarded the Legion of Merit and the Purple Heart. My brother, mother and I remained in Montgomery. During WW II, I began 10th grade in Sidney Lanier High School. 2. Where did you attend high school? What kind of student were you? I spent half a year in Sidney Lanier, and the remainder of my high school years at Troy High in Alabama, where my father had bought the Troy Messenger, a daily newspaper. I was an average student--a bit lost--in Sidney Lanier, but an excellent student in Troy High. 3. What made you become interested in journalism? Dad was in the business and I was "forced labor." Once I moved beyond print shop tasks and was entrusted with the job of police reporter at 16, and became the (secret) editorial writer for his newspaper at age 17, I was hooked. 4. What made you decide to be a professor? I've always liked to learn, and teaching a subject is a way to learn it well and to organize your knowledge. Frankly, I thought I could do a better job of teaching than many of my own college professors had done! And teaching is--well, it's a service. In some small way a teacher may contribute to others' lives and careers. I would not like to look back, having lived my life totally for myself. 5. Are you currently working as an attorney? No. 6. What influenced you to write Body Parts? I had short term goals and long term. The short term goals were to free myself from the tyranny of facts, and learn a new way of writing. Fiction writing can be a search for human truth based on the writer's vision. Fiction should either entertain or become part of our lives, or both. To learn, I chose to write different types of short stories with different points of view. The next step was to publish some of the best in a collection. Fortunately, the collection became a New York Times book of the year, and a book of the year selection of the American Library Association. 7. Were the characters in Body Parts based on anyone in real life? I'm not sure what other writers do, but in my case there are only three fictional characters I can think of that are based solely on single individuals. These are Clarke, Cookie, and Fergus in the BODY PARTS story, "A Brave, Damn-Near Perfect Thing." 8. Have you written any other books? No other fiction books. I became a professional fiction writer in retirement. Before that, most of what I wrote was nonfiction. I've published more than 40 articles and studies in magazines and journals ranging from WESTERN HORSEMAN to THE JOURNAL OF PSYCHOLOGY; six monographs; 29 short stories in literary journals and commercial magazines; a chapter in a textbook; and many book reviews in journals and newspapers. I've also sold three scripts to public television. 9. Have you received any other awards that I do not have listed? The Outstanding Teacher of the Year Award at Ole Miss Pirate's Alley William Faulkner Prize (co-winner) Kansas Arts Council/KQ Award for short fiction Winner, novel category, Deep South Writers Competition Finalist, Hemingway First Novel Contest The Silver Em for Contributions to Journalism Fulbright grant through Group Projects Abroad Finalist, Flannery O'Connor Competition Other awards in film arts, television script writing, and poetry 10. Are you planning on writing another book? If so, do you have a title for it yet? Three novels are partially written. One is a thriller (Note: The Hit is now published), one is a coming-of-age novel, and one is a novel inspired by biographical anecdotes and two photographs of a grandmother I never knew. The coming-of-age novel has the working title, PREACHER BOY. The imagined life story about my grandmother will begin with a short story in BODY PARTS titled "My Father's Voice, Lifting." It will follow the heroine from girlhood to old womanhood. 11. Do you have any favorite hobbies? Yes, I do! I read novels, story collections and nonfiction books, hunt quail and raise bird dogs, ride Tennessee Walking Horses, have a flock of St. Croix sheep, train my herding dog and compete with her, and study subjects that interest me. Right now, that subject is genetics. 12. Do you have any family you would like to mention? My daughter, Lu Ann, is the supervisor of group homes for the retarded in North Mississippi. My elder son, Tom, is a director of public relations. Ben, a former dentist, is becoming a missionary. All have received undergraduate and graduate degrees from Ole Miss. 13. Is there any other information you would like to share that I have not already asked? I'd like young people to know that a life in the arts is not one that most writers, musicians, painters, and so-on are born to! The major difference between a published writer and a non published one is that the former is persistent and a learner. As a teacher with 36 years of experience, I promise you that there are more talents and abilities in you and your classmates than you will ever develop fully. Some are great talents, and some are lesser, but we are all potentially inventive and multi-talented individuals. How we our spend time in our preparatory years is important. Every choice matters. My brother, Johnny, and I were fortunate as boys. Our mother, who had little experience in the world, convinced us that we could achieve whatever we wanted if we wanted it enough, would prepare ourselves, and would work hard and persistently. We were small and ignorant, had no experience in the world, and believed her. That has served us well. *One more point: it helps to set both short term and long term goals, so that you are rewarded and encouraged at each stage in your journey.

Passed away in the early morning hours of June 13th, 2006 at Vancouver General Hospital. Predeceased by his wife Myra (Margaret) in 1996, daughter Kenzie in 1996 and his brother Gerald, he leaves behind his sister Edie Ogilvie (Cal) of Miramachi, NB, sister-in-law Laura Hoar of Moncton, NB, son Stewart (Linda) in Green Bay, Wisconsin, son David (Noreen Rudd) in Ladner and daughter Melanie Galloway (Bill) in Vancouver. He was a special grampie for 7 grandchildren and great-grampie for 7 who will find his departure leaves special memories. For Bill, family was important and his cousins, nieces and nephews were all a large part of this. He continued to keep alive the gatherings of family and friends over tea or for the "Saturday Lunch" (or Saturday Lunch on Sunday evening with wine), a tradition that was started with his wife Myra in the fifties when university students and their families were frequent visitors. Bill taught and mentored many students, first at the University of New Brunswick and then at the University of British Columbia where he became the first Professor of Fisheries in 1945. After a distinguished career as a scientist during which he served on many national and international committees and for which he received an Order of Canada and Honourary Degrees from several universities, he went on to write and self publish genealogies under his own publishing enterprise called "Tangled Roots Press". He was a remarkable man who always looked for the good in others and would counsel "sleep on it before reacting". He always said he would pass on as a result of "too many birthdays" and "I'll have to watch out for natural causes". The family wishes to thank the wonderful staff at Arbutus Care Centre and the 6th floor ACE unit at VGH who provided the compassion and care he needed to preserve his independence. A celebration of his life will be arranged for later this summer. In lieu of flowers, a donation to the charity of your choice or the "Hoar Memorial Lecture Fund", Department of Zoology, University of British Columbia, #2370 - 6270 University Boulevard, Vancouver, B.C.
