He will be sorely missed. It was an honor to meet him and learn from him.

Doyle saved by ass once. My instructor was waiting for him to rip me to pieces I had been blowing off her class and instead he complemented my work. I will always love him for that one.

I'm pretty sure it was Doyald who when asked by a student after a lecture what he recommends for getting inspired said something along the lines of "Scotch Whiskey"...classic

Oh my goodness. I had no idea. I wonder how he passed. Last I heard, he was sharp as tacks and still designing & teaching full time.
