Lemuel "Hoyle" Gold, 91, of 2957 W. Stagecoach Trail, died peacefully on Thursday, September 12, 2013, at his home surrounded by his loving family when he went to be with his Lord and Savior. He was born November 13, 1921, to the late Joe and Julia Elliott Gold. Preceding him in death were his siblings: Milton, Palmer, Griffen, Ben, Joe, Julia, Mary Susan, and Rebecca.

Hoyle served in the US Air Force in WWII from 1942-1945 where he was stationed in Iceland. After the war he worked in textiles and then grew cotton on the family farm. When his children started coming along, he started to work at Carolina Freight in Cherryville along with his five brothers where he worked for 32 years. After his retirement he enjoyed being able to spend more time with his family. He loved to read Louis L'Amour westerns. He was a devoted fan of the Atlanta Braves and DUKE Blue Devils Basketball.

We will never forget his keen sense of humor, the twinkle in his eyes, his gentle spirit, his strength of character, integrity, and sound judgment, his steadfast devotion to his wife, children, and being "Paw Paw" to his grandchildren and great grandchildren. He was one who could be depended on to engage an "audience" with an interesting story or a wholesome joke. He gave lavishly from a kind and gentle heart. All who knew him were truly blessed The examples he has given us will live on in us, and we will miss him dearly.
