Sending my sympathy to Doyle's family. When Doyle & Peggy lived in Farwell NE they were neighbors across the street to my parents, Steve & Irene Kizior. Doyle & Peggy were the best as they always looked out for my parents. Now Doyle & Peggy are together with their Lord in Heaven. Prayers to the family.
