Doyle wore many hats; Son-Brother-Husband-and Dad.  He would do anything you asked of him.  He was a loving man.  He would help out any way he could, no matter the time of day.  He was the jack of all trades, and master of many!  Doyle gave the best hugs that would encompass your whole body.  The handshakes that he gave, with his baseball glove sized hands, left you wondering if your hand was broken or not.

He told the best jokes and always knew the answers to anything you asked.

The family would like to express our gratitude for the loving staff that cared for Doyle.
