ROBERT W. DOYLE Jr.

DOYLE ROBERT WILLIAM DOYLE, JR., Esq. "Bob" The only son in a family of seven children, Robert William Doyle, Jr., was born in Philadelphia, PA on May 22, 1947. He passed away unexpectedly after suffering a heart attack on May 18, 2014. His parents were Robert, Sr., and Jeanne Quinn Doyle. The family subsequently moved to Harrisburg, PA, moving back to Philadelphia some years later where Bob graduated from North Catholic High School. All of his degrees were earned at Temple University where he graduated with a B.S. in economics followed by a M.A. in economics from its Graduate School of Business, and a Juris Doctorate from the law school. Bob was a supporter of Temple for the remainder of his life. He was president of the local Temple Law Alumni Club at the time of his death. Bob was an antitrust expert. He served as a lawyer for the Federal Trade Commission for more than 20 years, becoming the Deputy Assistant Director of the Bureau of Competition. In 1997, Bob was featured in the cover story of The American Lawyer. He left the FTC to go into private practice, ultimately organizing his own firm, Doyle, Barlow & Mazard PLLC. At DBM, he focused on all aspects of antitrust and trade regulation law. Bob was licensed to practice in the District of Columbia and Pennsylvania. It was at the FTC that Bob met his wife, Debra Long, also a lawyer. The two were married before an intimate gathering of family and friends on June 22, 1985, in the home that he loved on East Capitol Street. Through the years the couple hosted many gatherings for family and friends. Bob was a welcoming host. Bob and Debra were blessed with three beautiful children, Michaela Marie, Benjamin Gabriel, and Skyler Gabrielle. While Ben's life was much too brief, his spirit remained in Bob's heart forever. Bob Doyle was a passionate student of history, evidenced by his extensive collection of history books. He unsuccessfully tried to pass on that passion by taking the family on excursions to historic battlefields. He tried his hand at boating and enjoyed hosting friends and family on his boat. Bob is survived by Debra, Skyler (now a student at Wesleyan University), and Michaela and her new husband, Craig Murphy, who currently live in Germany. In addition he leaves his sisters Jeanne Campagna, Huntingdon Valley, PA; Karen Doyle, SSJ, Cohasset, MA; Clare Doyle, Philadelphia, PA; Denise Sprandio (John), Philadelphia, PA; Beth Anne Patterson (David), West Hurley, NY; and Tracey Tillger, Doylestown, PA; mother-in-law, Virginia Hickerson Long, Ronda, NC; and brother-in-law, Charles Long (Cathy), Odenton, MD; along with 19 nieces and nephews and six grand nieces and nephews. Bob was an open and generous man. At the time of Bob's death, his family chose to help others through tissue donation. It would be an honor to the family if you would consider registering to be an organ and tissue donor. In lieu of flowers, contributions in his memory may be made to the "Robert Doyle Scholarship Fund" supporting law students enrolled in the DC Scholar Law & Public Policy Program at Bob's beloved alma mater Temple University Beasley School of Law, Office of Development & Alumni Affairs, 1719 N.
