Donna,
I was so shocked and saddened by the news of Doyle’s death. The two of you were always very special to me during my yrs. at Rio Bend. When I think of Doyle I always think of the Wall Steet Journal. You will shed alot of tears due to the loss of your dear husband but, you will also have many beautiful memories to get you through this very hard time.
Donna, my love, thoughts and prayers are with you and your family today.
Our sympathy goes out to you Donna and Gary, who we know from Rio Bend and to the rest of the Yeutsy family. Bob enjoyed his many games of golf and his men’s club executive experiences with Doyle. His presence and sense of humor will be missed by all. He did a terrific job as drawmaster for the men’s club for many years. You and yours are in our thoughts at this difficult time. love and hugs Marleen and Bob Steele
Doyle was awonderful friend to everyone he met he will certainly be missed by all. I always called him Doily. Wayne loved playing golf with him. We send our love to his family and especially his dear wife.
My family lived across the street from the Yeutsy family in Newton, Iowa. What great neighbors and wonderful people they were. We didn’t move into our house until I was three years old and I was born in 1953 so I remember Bob & Ken very well. I especially remember that the Foster kids and I would like to help shovel snow for Don & Ruth because the reward was always hot chocolate and cookies. I am so sorry your family has lost Doyle.
