Darroll & Sally Howard posted a condolenceDear Barb, Kevin and rest of family, We were saddened by the death of RJ. As you know, we go back many, many years. Have memories of him being "the" realtor in our area. He was always known to be honest, fair and guy to go to for real estate needs. That legacy has carried on to you, Kevin. We will miss his smile and humor. Wish we could be there for the final celebration of his life.
Sincerely,
Diz & Sally Howard

Peter Machtel posted a condolenceMy most heartfelt condolences to the Doyle family during this time of loss.
From the time I was a small child, I remember R.J. Doyle as a larger-than-life individual and a pillar in our Community. I remember him as a warm and caring father and a gracious host, even to teenage boys.
I cannot ever recall anyone speaking ill of him, a miracle in a small community such as ours.
His legacy of family and business will not soon be forgotten.
Rest in the Lord's eternal peace.
