Hoyle Sr. and Grace Hoyle and was born and grew up in Morganton, North Carolina. Following high school graduation, he enlisted as U.S. Army Air Corps in World War II.

He met his wife, Anita Rehme while staging for the war in Fort Wayne. He lived all of his adult life in Fort Wayne. He graduated from Valparaiso University in three years.
