Richard Doyle Obituary

Doyle, Richard "Dick" ALBANY Rich in Irish and Albany roots, Richard "Dick" Kielty Doyle, a proud and lifelong resident, born on May 30, 1941, died peacefully in his home on July 10, 2022, at the age of 81. He was predeceased by his son, John; brother, James; and parents, Anne and Leo. He is survived by his wife of almost 52 years, Karole; daughters, Jennifer (Sean) Greenlee, and Meaghan Doyle (Owen) Fay; and grandchildren, Finnegan, Cían, Niav and Caeris. He was known for being a creature of habit, but once persuaded to try something new, it became a habit. His love of Lake Luzerne, sun-ripened tomato sandwiches, Christmas potatoes and his beloved family will be memories we cherish and will continue the tradition. He will be missed greatly and remembered by all who knew him for his unexpected humor and honest Irish whisper. A cemetery service will be held on Thursday, July 14, at 1 p.m. in St. Agnes Cemetery, Menands. Please meet at the cemetery office to proceed together to the cemetery lot.

Dearest Doyle family,
I am so sorry - sending my deepest condolences. I have so many lovely memories growing up wth Jen and visiting your home. Your family was always so welcoming to me visiting ... so much that I always felt like I came home when I entered your house. Mr Doyle was always so kind, generous and always welcoming with a smile... He gave the best hugs. Thank you for those wonderful childhood memories.
-Kristen

The Family of Richard K. Doyle:

My condolences on the loss of your most beloved husband, father and grandfather.

Fondly recall my time working with Dick at the N.Y.S. Dep't of Transportation during the 1980's and 1990's when we were both involved with the successful development and implementation of the Real Estate Management Information System.

Thoughtful, intelligent, cordial and, always, a cheerful gentleman.

Your sense of loss must be overwhelming

May your period of bereavement and grief be, mercifully, short.

God bless you all.
