Dr. Thomas L. Doyle

We remember tom Doyle fondly from our experience in church choir in Montgomery AL. We were his "bookends" a tenor and soprano who read music! He introduced us to so many new songs that remained Favorites. Can still remember him shouting "mouth those southern lips and enunciate!" Enjoyed entertaining the choir at our house, God bless him.

Dr. Doyle came to Catholic in 1973, and we were his first Senior class. I felt like that year, we truly had a leader at our school. The other principals were ok, but this new guy really knew his stuff ! He could talk to you about anything from classical music to physics equations. Then there was Dr Doyle the choir director. I remember watching him conduct the St Bede´s choir at Christmas. We would always arrive at 11 pm, for the Christmas hymns before midnight Mass. Dr Doyle would...

Doc was an incredibly important part of my entire family's life during our time at Catholic High. He was a mentor, a friend, and an incredibly compassionate person who held you accountable while conveying a sense of caring that few people in this world can combine as well as he managed.

I would not be where I am today...

Please accept my sincere condolences, "second to none", an authentic educator! A true class act! My prayers are with all family members! Peace be with you!

"Questions, comments, criticisms?". I love you, Doc! Job well done!

Some distant but indelible memories: Tom's infamous pre-planned "spontaneous" rehearsal exit.

The next night all were focused and productive. Many more moments: Our Vietnam arguments at midnight on the steps of our Clairborne St. rental. The Thanksgiving fiasco--no Turkey, nobodies. There was, however, the magical trip to the...

Dr. Doyle was a very special person, friend, teacher, and an inspiration to all his students. He will remain in our hearts forever, always loved and always remembered.

Prayers to Dr. Doyle´s family. He was an excellent principal and leader.

Doc was a legend in the halls of Montgomery Catholic High School; respected, inspiring & fair. So many memories ... Our family was blessed to have known Doc. Rest In Peace - Job well done.
