Hi Mike. It has been decades since our time at St. Matthew’s and Don Bosco. I’m confident you are basking in the Son light of our Savior Jesus Christ. Until that glorious day when we believers all meet our Lord and Savior, blessings to your family and a shout out to your sister and my former classmate - Nancy.

I remember Mike from our grade school days at St. Matthews school. While I haven't seen him in many years--it sure sounds like he was a wonderful person. Coming from a large family myself I know how much he will be missed. He has earned his eternal rest.

When I would visit Barb and Mike I was always greeted by Mike with a big smile. Mike was always glad to see you and made you feel very welcome. Barb and Mike made such a great couple. You could truly see the love between the two of them. He will truly be missed by all. God now has a special angel.

I knew Mike at St. Matt's . LIved across the alley from the Doyle family and spent many weekend nights at their home. Nancy was my best friend.
Mike seemed like a brother and was easy to be around. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

So very sorry to hear of Mike passing. I haven't worked with him for 26 years. But remember him like it was yesterday. Such a pleasant and respected man. I left the Railroad years ago after 20 years of service, lastly as an Amtrak conductor.

I"m so sorry for everyones loss. I first meet Mike in 2004 when I transferred from Kansas City to Milwaukee. Mike was such a nice man and great railroader. He was an avid Union man and local chairman. He treated everyone with respect. He always offered his help to anyone, regardless of who you where. I worked with Mike on the Empire Builder and Hiawathas. I also worked with him on a Steam train excursion with the Milwaukee Road 261 and a beautiful Milwaukee Road train set. Mike was in his glory! We lost a good man, but I'm sure Mike will be helping those in need on the other side. Thanks for touching my life Mike. Cheers and GO BREWERS!

Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Doyle family. Our family had great memories with Mike dating back to his high school days. ..including ordering many pizzas from Perry's. He was a fun loving, hard working guy who was family oriented. So sad that his life was cut way too short.
