Robert E. Doyle

My Sympathy to the Doyle Family. I ran against Bobby many times in the 80's. Although he beat me often, he always had a smile and a kind word. I will miss him. Jesus

Lori and Family,
So very sad to hear about your beloved husband, father, and son.
My the Almighty shelter you under his wing and may Bob be in his loving care.

(Bubbe) from the CF

Lori, what a tribute to Bob seeing all those people standing in long lines to pay their respects to you and the family...that spoke volumes of the impact Bob had on many lives. Like I said when you and I hugged at his services, we are all here for you in your time of sorrow and need. The Doyle Family is a fixture in our Town and community and anything we can do to help, we will..

He laughed and joked as he always did and spoke of how proud he was of his family. Bobby was a good friend to me when I needed a good friend in my...

I, too, was a competitive distance runner in the 1980's and Bobby Doyle was a tremendous source of inspiration. Regular visits to Doyle's Sporting Goods provided opportunities to talk running and I enjoyed every visit. The news saddens me but his memory will remain strong in those who he touched.

Lori,Pat,Buzz and family,

I would like to extend my deepest sympathies to the Doyle fmaily for the loss of Coach. He was a PROFESSIONAL in and out of running. His unselfishness reflected in his coaching style. Coach would never stop teaching different strategies or giving encouragement. He gave encouragement to every runner, whether it was his own team of participants from other schools. He instilled that the sport of running is based on individual achievement while...

My deepest sympathy to the Doyle fammily. Bobby was a great runner and a great friend.

I ran my first marathon at Ocean State 1976 when Bobby won the first of his seven victories at Newport. I knew nothing about him before that cold, blustery day. But, much like Bill Rodgers, both "Everyman" type athletes, Bobby inspired, enthused and excited me about our sport.
He was a fierce, gritty competitor who asked no quarter and gave none in his pursuit of the finish line. Yet, outside competition, he was a kind, gentle, decent man who lived and loved life to the fullest. I am...
