Doyle was a valued member of Westover Hills Presbyterian Church. He was always ready to make a freezer of ice cream for the Ice Cream Social, to run the popcorn machine for church events, and be an integral part of the choir. He will be missed. Deepest sympathy to Helen and the family.
Doyle was a loyal and dependable member of the Westove Hills choir for twenty years. It was a pleasure singing beside him.
I am saddened and surprised to learn of Doyle’s death. I worked with him for several years at AHDT. He was a very smart and gentle man. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him.
We were Highway Department Internal Auditors. Doyle was one of the nicest people I have ever worked with in my entire career. Just a very pleasant and respectful man. RIP.
Always enjoyed working with Doyle during my years at AHTD. Also served with him on the Retiree Ex Board when I was president. He will be remembered by all that knew him
Helen and family will be in my thoughts and prayers
