My deepest sympathy and love go out to all of you in the loss of your Dad. Doyle was a very dear sweet man and I know for certain he always made everyone feel at home and welcome at Little Bits. TJ and I had many great times at the bar and chili cook-offs and I have many memories of those great times. May God Bless you all and give you strength during this sorrowful time.

Dear Pop,
You've taught me alot of things. Especially pool shots, dart throws and most of all how to burn chicken. But I will never forget your humor, your love and your wicked golf shot. I'm gonna miss you very much but I know you and Cindy are beating everybody up there. With all our love. I'm having a drink for you Pop. Love Always. I'm so sorry for your loss Dennis & Kim & Family. Our deepest condolences. We love You.

I was so saddened to hear of Doyle's passing. He was always so kind and very soft-spoken. I enjoyed all the times we all spent in Lit'l Bits between all the dart & pool leagues plus how he never really said anything (that I know of) after we totally PLASTERED his ceiling with Christmas lights cuz it looked so cool - until the fire marshall made us take them down!!!! Here's to all the great times we all shared with Doyle and may he rest in peace. We will all miss him greatly.

Even from afar, Uncle Doyle was always loved and cherished. It has been many years, but he will always be in our hearts and warm memories. He was the youngest of the Anderson boys, who are all back together in Heaven, where I am sure they have a cold one and a pool cue in their hands!

And to all the family, we all love you and miss you! Our deepest condolences in this time of sorrow.

Doyle will be greatly missed by my family and myself. He was also there in times of need, and helped us through a very trying family hardship.
His thoughts were always of others, and he always had a smile left at the end of a hard day.

Doyle you will be greatly missed. I treasure the 14 years that I have known you and will always think of you. I am especially glad I was able to see you and visit with you 2 months ago and have a cold adult refreshing beverage with you! And you even let me buy you one this time! D-rail and I love you and miss you already. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Anderson Family.

My deepest sympathy to this family whom I know and love sooo much. I loved "DAD" Doyle and I will cherish the times we chatted. It is with great empathy that I send you my condolences and if you need anything please call. Even if it is just a kind loving word.

I am sure by now, he has joined my Dear Sister Pamela and J J for a game of pool.

Let us cherish his time on earth and forever hold dear the time we spent loving him and hold him in our hearts forever till we meet up again.

Love You All,
Tammi Mata
