He enjoyed seeing and visiting with former students which he always called “his kids.” Doyle was also an active 50 year member of the Masons in Newberg and McMinnville and long time active member of Newberg United Methodist Church. After retiring from education, he and his wife became campground hosts, and he picked up newspapers for recycling.

He was also named Volunteer of the Year in Newberg and for several years he looked forward to the monthly coffee get-togethers with former teachers. A long time resident of Newberg, Doyle will be remembered for his caring, loving and helpful attitude, his love of life and family, his sense of humor and giving back to the community that had been so good to him and his family. We will remember him as our “saint”. He will forever be remembered in our hearts and thoughts every day. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests a donation to Meals On Wheels and/or Newberg United Methodist Church. A special thank you to the staff at Marquis Acute Care in Newberg for their caring and compassion for both Doyle and our family.
