Doyle Timothy McCullar

“Mr. Doyle” was born on March 9, 1930, in the Shuler community to Tim and Iva Price McCullar. He had one sibling, George McCullar, who was 13 years older and was a friend and mentor to Doyle all his life. They grew up on a farm helping their parents and attending school in Mt. Holly, AR.

Like his brother, Doyle enlisted in the military immediately after high school graduation. Although George was in the US Coast Guard, Doyle chose the Army. Sergeant Doyle T. (Mac) McCullar proudly served his country from 1948-1954 in the US Army 6th Tank Battalion, 24th Infantry Division.

Doyle enlisted for training at Ft. Jackson, SC. He also trained at Ft. Chaffe, AR. From 1950-1951 Doyle served in the Korean War, then re-enlisted. During 1952-1954, Doyle was stationed in Europe. With intentions of continuing a military career, Doyle changed his plans and moved back home to assist his aging parents.

For the next three to four years, Doyle worked at various jobs, including a paper company, Brown & Root, and Apex Welding Supply. During that time, he met and married the first love of his life, Katie Eunice Tullos of Ruston, LA.

The happy couple made their home in El Dorado, where they purchased a house in the new Murmil Heights subdivision. From 1958-1982, Doyle was a truck driver for Red Ball Motor Freight and Eunice held an office position. Doyle’s last employer was Jones Truck Lines, until his retirement in 1989. Over his 32-year career in the trucking industry, he received numerous awards and recognition for his accident-fee driving record.

Doyle loved fishing and hunting, but most of all, the couple enjoyed using their free time to travel.

Many miles were traveled to watch their nephew, Wayne Causey, play professional baseball for the Baltimore Orioles, KC Athletics, Chicago White Sox, California Angels, and Atlanta Braves during his career. Branson was another favorite destination.

Doyle and Eunice were devoted members of East Main Baptist Church, where she was the organist. Sadly, Eunice became ill and passed away.

In June of 2004, Doyle married the second love of his life. He reconnected with a friend from long ago, Irma Glynn Jolley Bounds, who had also lost her spouse. Doyle and Irma were very happy together. They combined their households and Doyle moved out of the city to her house in the country. Irma joined his church and they continued worshiping at East Main Baptist.

Irma also loved traveling. They were always taking trips—to Branson, Army reunions in Buffalo, NY, Albuquerque, NM, road trips to Kansas, Canada, and visits to family in Florida, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas.

When Doyle married Irma, he instantly became a father, grandfather, or great grandfather to 36 individuals who affectionately know him as “Mr. Doyle.”

When Irma’s health declined, Doyle was a diligent care giver throughout it all until she passed. He continued living in the country, but made frequent trips to Johnny B’s, Antiqua, and Walmart. His health began to decline following a knee injury. He has had many ups and downs over the past year. Now he is healed.

Mr. Doyle leaves behind the following survivors who will all miss him:
