Many pleasant memories of Carroll and Norman in our childhood. Would have been wonderful to have seen him again before he passed. My prayers and thoughts are with the family. He is now in the good Lords hands and forever happy.
Blessings to you all.

So sad to lose this dear brother-in-law. He was married to my sister Frankie for 38 years. All of our Doyle family loved this good man. We enjoyed many years with Bill and Frankie, making many trips to Arkansas. They made many trips to visit us here in South Carolina. We will never forget Bill and Frankie. Our thoughts and prayers are with his siblings and their families. Our prayers are to see him again in Heaven where all can be reunited.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. We loved Uncle Bill. Some of my most cherished childhood memories are the summer trips that we would take to visit Uncle Bill and Aunt Frankie. Uncle Bill would take us flying. He was a sweet and gentle man.
