I had the honor of knowing Doyle for a long time. Pretty much my whole life. And now there is hole in my heart. I know it will heal. It always does with time. I will miss him. But I will also cherish the memories. The football games, sporting events, golf, etc. Doyle was always there for his kids. I had the honor of seeing this firsthand. He tolerated our foolishness when we were young and beamed with pride when David became a husband and then a father. If any of his grandchildren had an event, you knew where to find Doyle. He loved them dearly and it showed. But Doyle would not be Doyle, without Kay. My 2nd mom was his rock and their love for each other was clear. She was always there, by his side. They hit the lottery in life when they found each other. Doyle was a strong man with a big heart. But he wasn’t the kind of guy that I could say I love you to. Well Doyle, you were one of the greatest men I have ever known, you will be missed dearly, and, I love you.
