David and Judy, I am sorry to hear about Mr. Doyle. He not only taught me how to drive but was my Homeroom teacher for 4 years. He was a wonderful and dedicated man and teacher. God bless you and your family.

Mr. Doyle, you were one of the finest men it has ever been my pleasure to know. The things you taught me during driver's ed were so much greater than learning how to drive. You will be sorely missed and remembered always. I send my condolences to your family and friends and ask God's support for them in this time of sorrow.

Mr. Doyle, I have fond memories of you. You taught me how to drive in the late '70's and did an excellent job. I still remember baking a special cake for you. A rum cake with more rum than cake (not on purpose). You will be welcomed into God's heavenly realm. RIP!
