He was a “3M Man” graduating from Marquette High School (’50), Marquette University (’54) and Marquette Law School (’59). He associated with Stanley Schellinger and became a founding member of the firm Schellinger & Doyle which specialized in Defense Litigation and Medical Malpractice on behalf of Health Care Providers for 30 years. He served on the National Board of Directors of The American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA) and was inaugurated into the International Academy of Trial Lawyers (IATL) which was limited to 500 members. At the time of his inauguration he always referred to himself as an Irish Catholic “Pro Life” Democrat in the ilk of JFK. He served as a Parish Trustee for five (5) Pastors over thirty years.



He was a longtime member of Westmoor County Club and Sun City Country Club in Arizona where he served as President for two terms. In his later years he was an avid reader, crossword fan and spent equality time with his “bride” and his black lab “Dooley”. He loved to play gin rummy with his bride each afternoon at 4:00PM sharp, even though he didn’t always win.
