We will always remember working with Dick on Parish Council, Scouting and as a member of the Saturday Morning Breakfast Boys. Rascher Ave. will not be the same without Dick and Ann. Our deepest condolences to the Doyle family.

Mike and Sue so sorry for your lost. Your Dad was one of the Neighborhoods respected fathers growing up. Been years since I've seen him but do remember seeing how much he loved his family and how proud he was of you all . Prayers are with you. Tony Hartmann

Please accept my sympathy on the loss of Mr. Doyle. I hope the family members as well as friends can obtain additional encouragement in the future promise preserved for us at 1 Corinthians 15:21, 22, 26.

Our condolences to the Doyle family. We fondly remember the Doyles and afternoon beverages on Rascher ave with our parents. My mom called Mr. Doyle "the mayor," and my dad yelled across the street to "keep it down" cause we had pregnant guppies that were getting upset! Lots of laughs and long friendships. He is in good company.
Love,
Nanos family
