Doyle passed away on June 9th at the age of 75, with his wife Judy at his side.
Doyle worked at the station before Anchor Emeritus Bill Williams came along. For Bill it’s not easy to say goodbye to one of Channel 10’s own. “It’s hard to lose a member of your family and I guess that’s why it’s so hard to lose Doyle because he was definitely a prominent member of our family here at Channel 10.”
