Dear Cindy & family,
I don’t remember if I posted before on Zip’s obituary. I worked with Zip while at Pfizer/Zoetis Animal Health. You probably don’t remember, but I rode along with Zip & we went out to dinner.
I think of Zip often. His mind & knowledge were light years ahead of his colleagues. We lost a man too, too early. I’ve thought many times over that there must have been something that I could have done to help him. I continue to pray for you.
God’s blessings to a remarkable family.
Jim Eubank

Zip Hoover always made me smile. As I dedicate an hour of prayer for Thayer and his family, I think of the volumes of words from his rich vocabulary he would use to carefully describe a situation, dilemma, person, etc. He would often declare ISU (Iowa State) as the fount of all knowledge. Knowing his love for Christ, I'm sure his discussions at judgement and beyond are quite robust and "Zipped" with intrigue. God bless you, Thayer -- may you now rest in eternal peace.

Thayer was not only a colleague but also a true friend. ZIP was one of the smartest people that I have ever meet. Whether it was in a meeting or Key Account event while I was with Pfizer, he always made it a learning experience. When ever you would call him, he would open with " Your a Great American" & usually say, " See ya' later Bud". Rest in Peace Thayer !!!!

Zip was one of the most gentle and compassionate men that I have ever met. He loved God and his family above any earthly achievements. He had an incredible memory and always "thought deeply". There are few people on this earth that had a better grasp and understanding of Swine Medicine and Husbandry than Zip. He was a mentor to me, not only in the Swine Industry, but as a devoted husband, father, grandfather. We will all miss him. Yet, we wait with great anticipation in joining him in heaven, a place so grand, it is beyond description, where neither heartache, pain, nor toil are present.
I am so very sorry that I could not attend Zip's funeral. Please know that all of you have been in my thoughts and prayers. Zip will not be a man that any of us forget. May God sustain you during these most difficult times.

I first met Zip in 1984 when we worked together for Wayne Feeds. I was the new RSM and he was the new Tech Service Veterinarian and together we explored new opportunities. One of my most vivid memories is when he and I spent 2 days in Sioux City learning to sky dive. Cindy, it's been many years since we've seen each other but I hope you know I really enjoyed knowing Zip and my thoughts and prayers are with you.

I worked with Zip at Lemley, Carlson and Hoover Veterinary Clinic in Cherokee, Ia. He was so enthusiastic and pro-active - a wonderful veterinarian. He reminded me of Tristan from the James Herriot books. Always had a smile and such a quick wit.
I know that everyone who loves him, who called him friend, will be changed forever with this loss. Grief never goes away but with time it changes and memories will bring a smile and warm feeling rather than the sting of loss and pain. Hold tight to your Faith and take these next days one breath at a time.
Rejoice in the life lived and may God Bless you with peace and comfort.

In the short time that I had known Zip he had made the most wonderful impression. When I stepped into my new job, Zip had made me feel so welcomed. He took me to my first pig production farm and showed me around. When I visited Iowa for the first time, coming from NJ, I had to mention to Zip that I had seen no malls from the airport to the hotel. That had been a running joke ever since, "No malls in Iowa." He was one of the smartest men that I have ever known and humble to say the least. Although we no longer worked together, we kept in touch and he was so proud of his wife, children and most recently his grandson who he referred to as "Bub." I'm so saddened to hear of his passing and want you to know that I will keep his family in my prayers.

I remember ZIP as a 6 year old when his cousin Dick and I got married. What a handsome little guy. As he grew he would be to family events and we watch him grow,
A veterinarian he became, and a good one too.
We enjoy the visit we made to his home in Spirit Lake , loved his wife and 2 kiddos.
WE shared good time and bad. Family was what we were.
RIP Zip, you will be missed.
