Doyle's solid dedication to truth and to its proclamation everywhere and in every way he could has been a great encouragement to me and his other fellow evangelists in Europe. At various times I asked Doyle for advice and was always impressed by his wisdom. Condolences to his fine family and to all who are missing him. Roy Davison

"Mon Jésus, je T'aime à perpétuité.
Qu'ici-bas, je T'aime toujours constamment.
À l'heure suprême du dernier effort,
Ma voix expirante ne s'entendra plus.
Sachez que je chante, je T'aime, Ô Jésus!"
Encore Merci beaucoup, Doyle, pour tout ce dont Dieu nous a tant bénis avec toi!
Encore Merci beaucoup, Doyle, pour "ton bon combat, ton juste combat pour la foi" en notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ, partout dans le monde!

Doyle was a modern day Apostle Paul. He and Barbara did everything they could to spread the gospel. We are so lucky to have known him for all these years. He and his family have a special place in our heart. I know he is somewhere eating ice cream with my father. God bless!
