Dr. Hyder was my Dean when I chaired the Applied Human Sciences
Dept. He was the best administrator I ever served under. He treated
every person with dignity and respect. He taught me so much and I
was always happy to see him and spend time talking with him. My
heart is broken for all of you and us. I pray you find peace. He was
truly a great man.
Dr. Hyder was truly the most caring, interested, and genuine
boss I have ever had in my life. He quickly eased my nerves
and turned into a mentor and role model. Even after his
retirement , keeping up with both Jimmie and Dr. Hyder was
always a pleasure. My family would have done anything they
needed in a heartbeat. He was so genuine and sincere. So is
Jimmie. I feel blessed to have known him. He always asked
about my son and his illness - he put others before himself.
There truly are not many like him - I feel very blessed my path
crossed with Jimmie and Dr. H. Thank you for allowing me to
share a glimpse of your life. Your inspiration and
encouragement definitely improved mine. God bless you.

Dr. Hyder was a wonderful inspiration when I returned to
ETSU for graduate school. He served on my thesis committee
and was always so encouraging. He was pleased to know that
one of the teachers in my high school career that I felt helped
me so much in Math was his mother in law. Prayers for his
family.
Dr. Hyder was an inspiration to me, having taught me
architectural and house construction classes in the early part
of my career. I have never forgotten his help and
encouragement. I am so sorry to hear of his passing and wish
to express my condolences to his family.
It is with a heavy heart that I hear of the passing of a dear
friend, Mr. Hyder. As a heating and air conditioning service
technician for Bailey’s Htg and Air I have had the pleasure to
get to know Carroll on a personal basis and enjoyed many a
long conversation with him. Always a true gentleman in the
purest sense in that he always took time in his busy schedule
to speak with me. As of right now I am working a government
position in Somalia, Africa so I send my prayers and sympathy
to the Hyder family- to Chris and Jennifer, and to let them
know that I am thinking about them.
Jimmie and family -
I am so saddened for you and your family on your
loss of Carroll. My thoughts and prayers go out
to you at this time. Please know that you and
Carroll were always two special people to me.
Take joy in the fact that Carroll was an
exceptional man.

Our sincere sympathy to the family in the passing of Mr. Hyder. He was always friendly and helpful . An intelligent and a good man.
He will be missed, but pleasantly remembered.
Jimmie, I was so sorry to hear about Dr. Hyder. He was one of
my favorites in the Department. Being one of two of the first to
do the crossover Master degrees from Family and Consumer
Sciences, Dr Hyder was so helpful and made us feel welcome
and included. ....Such a fine man, liked and admired by all.
My thoughts are with you and family at this difficult time.
Love and Hugs
Carroll was a beloved faculty member and colleague. His
sense of calm solved many problems and got people back on
the right track. Although he has been gone now for 5 years
from the College of Business and Technology, he is still
missed. Linda Garceau, ETSU Colleague

A real gentleman.. That was Carroll. He will be greatly missed. He had
a heart of gold and I know he loved his family dearly. My nephews are
truly blessed to call him Grandfather. My heart is hurting that I can
not be there right now for this beautiful family but know that you are
all in my heart and in my prayers.
