He is survived by his wife of 48 years, Mary Anne (Pineo) Doyle, 3 great children, Mike (Kim), Jeff (Rachel), and Joanne (Jamie). 3 wonderful grandchildren, Amy (Dave), Emily (Tyson) and Carson, his 3 sisters, Margaret McLaughlin, Dolly Hughes (Johnny), Chrissy Marshall (Fred), step sisters and brothers, Bill Kinch (Joanne), Helen Oickle, Brian Kinch (Kathy), Frank Kinch (Donna) and Cathy Kinch, his brother-in-law Rick Pineo(Donna), nieces & nephews, and his Uncle Don Doyle(Claire). He was predeceased by his parents Jack and Evelyn (Jenkins) Doyle, step mother Mary Doyle, brother-in-law and very good friend Mike McLaughlin. John was a well known trucker for over 40 years both as owner operator and company driver. He was an avid hunter, he enjoyed boating, fishing, water skiing, scuba diving, jamming with his musical buddies, cooking, having his weekend happy hour in his garage with Elmer and Rob, and he loved watching tv. His delicious cooking was enjoyed by his whole family and his hunting buddies. He loved our property in Waverley because it originally had been his grandparent's home. He enjoyed living here for the last 20 years, it was his happy place. A special thank you to our wonderful neighbours, Rob & Terry, who have mowed our lawn and plowed our driveway.
