Sincere condolences on the death of Joe Doyle, an Albany friend for over 50 years.
To Joe’s family I offer me sincere sympathy. Joe was a life long friend, really part of the family. He has always been in my life. My dad took him under his wing and helped him though RPI. He babysat for us when we were small and as we grew was always at all the parties. As time went by and he moved away, we would chat about old times. He would update me on his children and his dogs. He will be remembered for that hearty laugh, and we had alot of those. May peace be with his loved ones.
Sorry to hear about Joe’s passing. He was a friend from a ski club in Albnany in the ’70’s and at times a room mate. We were both engineers at GE, although we did not work together. As you know, he was a very smart guy both technically and about business. All ways good conversation when he was around and a skiing conpanion. My condolences to his family, I’m sure he will be missed
