Joey Doyle Obituary
The Sunday ritual at Bill and Camille Doyle's home would make most N.F.L. fans jealous. Four televisions, four different games and 16 rowdy young men rooting at the top of their lungs, all day long. This, the Doyles did without fail, at the request of their youngest, Joey, a Staten Island "sports nut" who made it to Wall Street but still loved mom and dad's house best. Especially mom's cooking.
"He made Sundays this big holiday for us," said Mrs. Doyle. "You couldn't be around him and not like football, any sport."
The mantel in the Doyle house is lined with trophies, newspaper clippings and certificates from the days when Joey Doyle, 25, a rabid Green Bay Packers fan, was a a star pitcher at Wagner College.
Now the family is preparing to add another prize to the collection, an autographed football mailed to the family from the Green Bay Packers, a gift that Mr. Doyle would have surely coveted, and one that has helped to remind the Doyle family that they do not grieve alone. "Every day you think, I'm not going to get through this," said Mr. Doyle's father. "But the people, strangers a lot of them, they just keep reaching out. They help more than they know."

Hey Joey,
Its 9/11 I spoke to my cousin today and we were talking about you. You were such a great guy. We hung out when we were younger and I hadnt seen you in a while and then one night at Tobacco road you saved Michelle and I from getting picked up from some annoying guys.. you made me laugh that night like you did when we were younger. You are and will always be greatly missed..Whenever I think of you what I remember most is your big smile.. God bless you and keep smiling down at all of us! 5 years but NEVER FORGOTTEN!!

Hi, Joey. My name is Larissa. I learned a little about you today when Karen, the director of the school I attend, and friend of your family, told me of the terrible loss your friends and family have suffered. I, too, have lost someone very dear to me--my best friend, Monica Goldstein. You probably know her; she worked with you and was the same age as you. I'm honored to learn a little about the wonderful guy are and saddened to know that your family and friends are grieving over the your passing. May your friends and family find the strength to get through this. Four years have passed and it doesn't get any easier. Go Packers! (My husband's a Packers fan). My thoughts are with you and yours.

My goodness....I just came across Joey's name by chance and have just visited his web site. I've never met him but I read all the information and looked at all the pictures - I found that I was laughing out loud while at the same time my eyes were filling with tears. What a wonderful, happy soul taken way too soon. My heart truly goes out to his family and friends, those fortunate enough to have known him. Please know and hopefully find comfort in the fact that he is continuing to touch lives. I will not forget him.

Dear Mr. & Mrs. Doyle, I did not know anyone who was taken that terrible day, but I DO take it very personally. My husband & myself both come from law enforcement. I have a younger brother who is a police officer in Illinois. So that is why I take this personally, a little more than my husband. I saw you on Fox & Friends this morning. I felt the need to get to your web site for your son & give my thoughts. I know this is the legacy site, but I don't know howelse to send my thoughts. If luck came in a form of material, I would send all of you everything I have. I wish you all the luck with what looks good for the memory of your son. GOD SPEED TO ALL & GOD BLESS THE LIVES LOST. Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello,
My name is Caitlin and I am 14 years old. I bought a mercy band a year ago and it had Joey Doyle's name on it. I went to the website to find out about him. Although I do not know who he is he sounded like an incredible person and a wonderful friend. I wish I could have known Joey because he sounded like a wonderful person. I would like to give my condolences to the family and give them my love. I am sure Joey is watching down on you right now.

To Bill Jr -
Billy, Matt from Brooklyn College here. While we haven't hung out since we left Brooklyn years ago, I have always remembered the incredible amount of good times and laughs we shared at BC. It was these times that helped make that experience a mucher better one, with someone for who I considered a great friend. Since that time we've drifted as life does, besides the time I bumped into you at the Yankee game that night, last year shortly after the tragedy and you shared with me. The most amazing thing about bumping into you that night was that I had a feeling that I would see you at the stadium eventually. Go figure, we've always been die-hard fans.
Billy, where I have nothing valuable to say or that hasn't been said before, I want to ensure that you know that your loss is something I think about often, if not every day. And where I never had a chance to meet your brother, I know of what caliber he was because of all the times I remember you talking about him, and times you rushed home to see to him and his baseball.
You should know that you are a great brother, a great son, a great friend, and a terrific person from beginning to end.
You will have all of my most sincere, heart found sympathy every time I think about what occured on that terrible day. However, words are nothing if they're not said, but they can't heal.
Love, your brother.
August 19, 2002
Joey-
Thank you for being there whenever i needed you, even now that your gone. You are truly an angel and i believe your watching over all of us always.

As your cousin, I have many memories of us while we were growing up. I always knew that you were a fun-loving guy, but I must say that I am honored to be your cousin as I continue to read and hear people speak about you. I know that you are in a much better place and want you to watch over us and still comunicate with us...I know you can see everything. We will always be here for your parents too. Just make sure you prepare a nice spot up there for us someday. You are always in my thoughts and heart and I hope to touch all the lives you have touched. I love you and miss you!!

It's July 7th. I just got home from the beach. As I sat on the beach, I ran in to an aquaintence. He informed me that you were taken from us in the attacks. I had no idea, until yesterday. Somewhat ironic being that it's fourth of July weekend and everything. Well, now I sit here and shed tears. I hadn't seen you in a few years since our beach house, but I thought about you on various occasions. Mark and I always immitated you saying "Bro...Bro". Remember the Squan and Auspray, sittin out on the back porch playin old school hip hop and house music, JD's happy hour. I just cannot beleive you aren't here anymore. You are very missed, and will never be forgotten.

Hey Joey, just thinking of ya and wanted to say hi. The shore has started and you're definitely missed. We all miss ya lots and hope your watching down on us, not laughing at us too much though...haha

Hey Joey
The squan has started but a big part of it is missing. It will never be the same without you. Thank you for giving us so many memories!!! We will never forget you, your crazy shirts & hats, and JD's Happy Hour. Keep an eye on your friends from up there. We'll be meeting up with you one day but until then you'll always be in our hearts. We miss you!!

When I look back and reflect on my thirty-three years
ministering in education, there are many young men and
women whose faces come before me. Some I remember or
see more clearly than others, but all are there, woven
into the tapestry of my life. They have shown me both
strength and weakness, complacency with the status-quo
and a persistent questioning of what might yet be.
With some I have walked the journey of illness and
weakness of mind or body. With some I have had the
privilege to be present for their passage into the
newness of eternal life. But for the majority, it has
been the daily journey of growing "in wisdom, age and
grace" that has been their gift to my life.
On September 11, 2001, the taking for granted of the
quiet and resilient majority became for me a
gut-wrenching experience of pain, sorrow and joy. I
was privileged to have known five young men who were
so tragically taken from us on that day. Each in his
own way was, and continues to be, a part of my life.
Timothy Byrne and Thomas Mahon were graduates of St.
Dominic High School in Oyster Bay. Tom was married
and the father of a little girl. He was a quiet boy
who had grown into a husband and father, rooted in
faith and a simplicity of living he had learned from
his parents. Timmy had assumed a role of leadership
in his family of 10 brothers and sisters. His father
had died while he was in college and Timmy, who had
never married, quickly gravitated to being the one
called upon.
Michael D'Auria, Joseph Doyle and John Tierney were
graduates of St. Joseph-by-the-Sea High School on
Staten Island. Mike and John were firefighters. John
had just finished his shift and jumped on the truck as
it pulled out of the station. Michael was a rookie
who had not yet graduated from the Fire Academy. He
had taken up painting as a way of expressing his
spiritual side. Joseph had gone to college on a
baseball scholarship and had just begun his career at
Cantor Fitzgerald.
In these days, when the importance of WHO we are
speaks so much more clearly than WHAT we do or say, I
share with you five young men, vibrant with
possibilities, who are part of my life. They speak of
the fragility of life and the depth of the human
spirit. They remind me that the choices we make in
life, determine WHO we become. I celebrate their
lives, and I thank God for the threads of gold they
have woven in the tapestry of my life.

Hey Joey... I still can't believe you're gone! I think about you all the time. I never had a chance to tell you that you were a GREAT guy!! I loved spending time with you at Wagner- in the "Hawks Nest" or on "the terrace" of the Student Union. I looked forward to going to classes and seeing you laugh and smile.
I never realized how much you touched my life, until you were gone! I will always remember you and I hope that one day, we will meet again.
LOVE ALWAYS, Tara

The spirit of the man
Former Wagner College pitcher Joe Doyle squeezed plenty of life into 25 years
Sunday, April 07, 2002
CORMAC GORDON COLUMN
USE COLUMN CUT
The father heard the story later, maybe from one of the friends who stop by the house all the time, now.
It was about the homeless guy his son had come across last summer down by the boardwalk near Belmar on the Jersey Shore. Most kids Joe Doyle's age (what was he, 25?) would have walked on by, maybe thanking their good fortune for that Master of the Universe job trading bonds back in Manhattan; the one with all the cushy perks, and the great view of the New York skyline.
Some wouldn't even have noticed the shabby guy with the matted hair and dirty face.
"Joe brought him home," Bill Doyle said with some fatherly pride yesterday.
He took the homeless guy back to the house he was renting with his buddies from Wall Street and some of his pals from the Wagner College baseball team that he'd anchored a couple of seasons earlier.
"We have to get him something to eat," Doyle told the house full of vacationers. "And give him a chance to clean up."
And that's just what Doyle did, rustling up some food out of a refrigerator stocked mostly with cold beer and leftover Chinese, and finding a towel and some soap for a shower.
"He was a good-hearted kid," the father said from the chilly sidelines of Wagner's double-header with Quinnipiac College.
Which is not to suggest Joe Doyle was a saint, exactly, or into a monastic lifestyle.
There was another story about the weekend Wagner was traveling to Marist College in Poughkeepsie to play a big weekend series. Coach Rich Vitaliano told Doyle he'd be pitching the Sunday game.
"So we went out on Staten Island on Friday night," remembered that Seahawk team's first baseman Tom Dunn. "Stayed out until four in the morning."
Then the Saturday pitcher came up injured. Vitaliano called on Doyle, who'd had virtually no sleep at all.
"He was miserable," Dunn remembered.
But Doyle pitched a two-hit shutout, just the same. The father, who had coached and chauffeured the son from the earliest age, remembers driving to Poughkeepsie on short notice that day.
Then there was the biggest weekend of the '97 season, the first time in two decades that the Wagner baseball program had a chance to make some noise in the Northeast Conference.
With Doyle and Mark Nugent the Seahawks had a real 1-2 pitching combination, two quality junior starters who could go head-to-head with the big dogs of the NEC.
What stood in the way was a double-header with Rider University, a team they'd been losing to for so long it was pretty much an automatic 'L' once the names were penciled into the schedule.
Doyle pitched the first game, stifling the Broncs with the off-speed stuff he first learned at Great Kills Little League and refined at St. Joseph-by-the-Sea High School. Then, when Nugent got in trouble late in the second game, Doyle ambled up to Vitaliano at the end of the Seahawk bench.
"I'm ready if you need me to close it out," he said.
And that's just what Doyle did in one of 52 appearances he made in a four-year Wagner career that included 233 innings, number three all-time in innings-pitched at the school and the most in more than 40 years.
"He was the best pitcher I ever played with or against," said Dunn, who first saw Doyle when the two South Shore kids were playing high school ball against each other. "A bulldog. But even more than the way he pitched was the way he competed. If you played with Joe, he would never let you think anything but that you were going to win."
For Doyle, that competitiveness began at an early age.
"From the time he was three, baseball was all he thought about," the father said. "It was our life for 20 years. When he was nine, he played against 10-year-olds in Little League. He had five no-hitters."
Truth is, some day the folks at Wagner might have gotten around to retiring Doyle's number 34 even if they hadn't lost the school's career leader in complete games during the September attacks on the World Trade Center.
That he did die in such a way might have just speeded the process along.
Now, in just short of seven months, with the cleanup in downtown Manhattan entering its final stages, it's become a ritual that Joe Doyle's friends stop by the father's house in Annadale.
Once or twice a week the doorbell will ring, and it will be Dunn or the Rugg brothers, Gordon and Kevin. Sometimes they'll bring some of the other Wagner players from those mid-90s' teams, Joe's teams.
They chat. Tell stories. They laugh.
"They won't let his spirit die," the father was saying yesterday.
But maybe that's where the father has it wrong.
Maybe a spirit like Joe Doyle's is so strong it's destined to live on no matter what anyone says or does.

February 20, 2002
Today I pray for those you left behind
For closure or reason we cannot find
The end of a chapter, end of this life
Today all of your loved ones deal in strife
It's not what you want, deep down we know that
You look down on us with a silly smile
I bet in heaven, you don't need a hat
But perhaps I won't know that for a while
We look at your pictures, its so unfair
We walk zombified in utter despair
For a bright side we seek, tell me you know
Any words of wisdom you might bestow?
You say "Don't be sad; trouble don't borrow
For all it does is eat you up inside
Do not drown in hopelessness and sorrow
Forever I'll be right here at your side
Memories we've had keep close to the heart
For the real 'good time,' I get to restart
Here there's Chinese food twenty-four seven
Now don't you all wish you were in heaven?
Beer supply endless-Hangovers good-bye
The ladies love me and Bill...I'm not shy
This place looks like Disney without a line
And everything I want is always mine
I eat all the time and never gain weight
I win every bet--Games are a shoe-in
There's never a night I don't have a date
The girls can't resist my 'How You Doin'
I get to watch my Packers all day long
And oh the CDs-I have every song
I think of you Bry-each time I hear rap
And when I drink from my Heineken tap
My one wish is that my family could cope
I understand your tears, for I you miss
But 'Time Marches On', you know that, I hope
So put on a smile as you reminisce
So to all my boys 'Remember the shore'
Thanks for showing me what real friends are for
To the girls, don't cry--My life just begun
I'll be with you ALL, now go HAVE SOME FUN"
...In my thoughts always

Although we didn't spend as much time hanging out these past few years as we did back in high school, I miss you just the same and my heart aches for your family's loss. I have so many memories of you and your laughter. Your heart was enormous. To consider myself friends with you is an honor. Your presence will forever remain in my heart, soul & mind. I pray that you are watching over all of us now. I'll keep you in my prayers always.
Love,

to the doyle family,
i was a classmate and friend of billy's. so from playing baseball with billy i got to know joey from him hanging around the ballpark. one thing i will never forget about joey was his smile! i remember like it was yesterday, joey with his dodger cap on talking about how the mets had no chance of beating the dodgers in the 88' playoffs. he was so confident about it he could not help but smile - and his smile was from ear to ear! to the entire doyle family i would like to extend my deepest sympathies and greatest blessings for joey. god bless.

Whether it was getting smacked by Tommy with a piece of Bamboo, passing out of my shoulder in the car coming home from Cylo, or getting a hold of B-Dunn in one of your many wrestling moves there were so many funny memories of you just being you bringing smiles to everyone's faces. I'll miss you and pray for your family. It's a shame they chose Tuthill to be my pitching Coach at Wagner rather than you. You could have made me a mini bulldog instead of a softball player, lol. 9/11/01 will never be forgotten and neither will you. God Bless. Chille.

Joe
There hasn't been a day that your friends have not talked about you, about alot of funny stories.. I've met you though B Dunn and the first thing i remembered was that big smile you had. I was glad that I met you because you made everyone have a big smile just like you as well as alot of laughs. Even though i've only know you for a short time it really felt a long time. I was also glad to have a few good nites out (tall ships then madsion's, applebees as well).
I really wish that you were here to show me around S.I. now that iam here. Your friends miss you and as you friend from Brooklyn I miss you.
God Bless You and Your Family as well as your Friends, who i was glad to be introduced too.

Joe,
From the city to Tabacco, from our porch to Djais, all over Vegas, and just watching football in your basement...You always put a smile on my face. You are one of a kind whose place will never be taken. You showed me what a best friend is all about and I Thank you for that. Nothing will ever be the same without you.

Joe, I miss you so much. Life isn't the same in the Dunn house without seeing you pull up in your white truck or call on the phone for Tommy or Bryan. You brought so much happiness and laughter to our home and I thank you for that! Save a place in heaven for us. Love,Mrs.Dunn

Too many good memories of JD to list all of them - thanks for making being in the dugout more fun than being out on the field, for all the chicken rolls at the Kingdom, and for just being "good ol' Doyle".
P.S. - you were right about Konerko, he CAN hit....we miss you Bulldog...34 lives on.

Thank you, Lord, for memories
Kept deep inside my heart.
Thank you, Lord, for memories
From these I shall not part.
For they let me see that beautiful smile
With laughter on its way.
They let me hear that warming voice
To brighten up my day.
They let me dance a dance so sweet
Having so much fun
They let me feel that feeling of pride
To know that special one.
Thank you, Lord, for memories
From these I'll never let go.
For, these memories are so dear to me
They're memories of, Joe~

I only meet Joe a couple of time through a mutual friend, but the few times I did hangout with him, he came across as one of the nicest and most genuine people I'd every been around.

Joey,
Not a day goes by that I don't think about and pray for you and your family.
I am so glad that we got the chance to get close this summer, but I am so sad that it had to end so fast. This was the best summer ever, I will never forget it or YOU.
You will always be in my heart...

Joey,
You will be missed in our hearts and in our souls but not in our minds and our memories. You will not be forgotten by any of us that knew you. Weather it was briefly and especially if it was't. Our hearts go out to you and your family.

Joey, you were and will always be my best friend. Everything I do is done with you in mind. We all know that you're still with us, trust me. Without having you as my friend/brother, I wouldn't be who I am today.
Oh and I'm now a converted Packer fan and look what happened - home field in the 1st round of the playoffs!!

Dear The Doyle family,
I never met Joe, but I've heard so many great things about him that I feel as if I knew him. My boyfriend, Mike Cammarata was a firefighter that gave his life on 9/11. I can assure you that if Joey and Mike met up in heaven the football parties will have no end! My thoughts and prayers are forever with you and your family. God Bless you.

America Cries
We see your sorrow-
and our hearts cry....
We can not erase your pain
but you do not have to face the anguish alone-for we-
-the American people-
are beside you.
We so desperately want to have the touch that brings you comfort,
the strength that gives you courage,
and the words to lighten your spirits.
And when we are left speechless
may the silence of our nation weave love into your hearts
to ease your sorrow.
May you find healing through our nation's strength as we-
-the American people-
face this difficult time together. Our hearts are with you. Teresa Jahn

Joe,
My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. I met you only one time at Tobacco Road, and you came over to a group of us and just started talking. We ended up to have a really good time that night. I will remember you as an extremely friendly person who loved to have fun. When I first found out and saw your pic, I had mentioned to a mutual friend of ours (Mike) if that was you. As soon as he said yes, my heart dropped. That night, I prayed to my Dad and asked him watch over you and my cousin Nicholas who is also missing and worked for the FDNY. Joe, you are a good person who left many great memories with many people that will last a lifetime. You are in good hands where you are now and I am sure you are making many new friends. Take Care and God Bless
