P.J. Doyle J.P. has definitely left all of us with great memories of a legendary man. Paddy, as he was affectionately known by many,will always be remembered as a wonderful neighbour, confidant, historian, gardener,and story-teller. Paddy spent a lot of time at our home in St. Bride's, and we never tired of listening to his stories about the fastest horse around,the trips he made to buy JUMBO, and the joys and perils of running the local fish plant. Paddy could spin a good yarn, and share a hearty laugh. It has been a long time since Paddy sat with us as we wrote a paper about the Dirty Thirties in Outport Newfoundland, but his recollection is still very vivid in our minds. Over the years we have become accustomed to receiving annual Christmas cards and calls from Paddy, and we will miss him. Regina and family, please find comfort in your memories of Paddy. Truly, we were all blessed by his kindness. God Bless.
