Not sure what to say?

Dear Doyle Family, Somehow I missed Mr Doyle's obituary last month, and just learned of his passing. I have been reading the memorial messages and could not agree more...... I graduated from KHHS in '67, and had the privilege of having Mr. Doyle for my sociology class. He was a teacher who sincerely cared for and about his students. He "Walked his Talk", exhibiting positive character and values. Always an encourager, firm but fair, he looked for the best in each of us. Even after...

Colleen,

I think he always enjoyed hearing us sing.

Mr. Doyle was a gentle man. He helped me straighten up and fly right. I don't think he ever found out that my parents weren't in Europe for 3 months! Maybe he did and just let it slide. My prayers go out to you all.

Mr. Doyle was my princiPAL at KHHS. He helped me through my first Heartbreak from young love. "There are other fish in tbe sea,"is what he told me. He was a firm but gentle caring soul. I Thank him for the years of support of the Clay tribe, many of us went thru Kenowa. Sending comforting vibes to you all. Thank you for sharing your father, husband, grandfather all those years with the hundreds of students he impacted

Mr. Doyle was my history teacher at Kenowa Hills. Was a great teacher and man. Sorry for your lost.

Dear Peggy and Family: I was a student at Kenowa Hills during "Mr. Doyle's" tenure. He was a warm individual that provided leadership and guidance to the students. It was evident the way the obituary was written that he was a great influence to all he touched throughout his life. Wishing you comfort as you mourn his passing.
