Dear Charlot and Family,

My deepest condolences to you all. I have many fond memories of my grandfather and my dad going to Doyles for their haircuts and I would get to tag along. When I am in Wilmington, i still look over to where the shop was when i drive by.

Our prayers are with the family at this time. I think Doyle gave me my first haircut years ago. There was always something special with Doyle. You could tell he "had it together". He will be missed, but is now together with God. Our condolences to Roxane and family.

Our deepest condolences to the Johnson family. I always enjoyed his visits to my Service Station. He was a beacon of Christian Values. He was a great businessman. Why, I wouldn't be surprised if he was at this very moment trying to set up a der Weinerschnitzel in Heaven! DW was one of his favorite investments. I will miss him and Wilmington will miss him.

Doyle cut my hair as well as my son's hair many times until his retirememt. We knew his father who also cut our hair. Doyle was a pleasure to talked to, and he had a sincere love for God. I first came to know him at First Assembly Of God church in Wilmington.

Over the years Wilmington has lost many iconic buisnesses, Doyle's Barber Shop is one of those. Doyle cut my hair and my four son's hair. My wife and I got to know Doyle over the years he treated us with respect, his smile was genuine and he sure had a cool hair style himself. There is a great barber in heaven. Our prayers go out to the family. Victor/Frances Yslas and Family, WILMINGTON ,CALIFORNIA

While living in the Wilmington area Doyle cut my hair many times. He was the best. When I got married in 1966 he gave me the frist and only shave from a barber. My prayers are for the family.

Dear Charlot and family,
Mike and I would like to express our heartfelt condolences to you all. We have missed seeing Doyle walking the neighbor, but will remember his smile and his greetings he gave us, each time he saw us. My father, Sal Gascon, always spoke very highly of him and how he was such a good Christian man. He enjoyed working with him at the barber shop in Wilmington. Peace be with him and may God help you through this time of need.
God Bless,
Teresa and Michael Tockstein
