It was with JD that I had my first pint of Guinness! 

First St. Pats season with the band - I had just gotten my driver’s license but I was still new to navigating the south suburbs on my own so I was struggling to keep up with the group between gigs all night. We ended up at Fox’s Oak Lawn. JD could see I was flustered, so he invited me to have a drink with the guys at the bar. Until then I had never been asked by a bartender what I wanted to drink so I just blurted out the first beer that came to mind: “Corona.” JD gave me this look like I had just shot  somebody. He said “CORONA?” What the hell are you thinking? You can’t be seen drinking that crap with us! You’re a Shannon Rover now and we drink Guinness! He then said “here try mine! You like it? GOOD!” Then told the bartender “get this guy a Guinness would ya! Jesus Christ!” From the comically insane banter between him and Tom Conway, to his generosity in inviting us into his home to relax between jobs, standing up for fellow band members, grilling for us at Gaelic Park, and giving advice when needed, the memories I have from hot-rodding around the South Side of Chicago with him and Johnny in their big white van are some of the finest I think I will ever have. To one of the greatest spirits in the sky who carried a heart the size of his bass drum in his chest, Rest In Peace JD and God Bless you. 

Wherever JD had been, he left a trail of smiles. Even after his passing, thoughts of our Rover days have me smiling still.
God bless you JD!

I had the great pleasure and honor of working with John for many years with CPD-022nd District.  John had a wonderful sense of humor and he was a very accomplished and respected police  sergeant/supervisor.   But foremost, John was a devoted family man.  John loved his family and his face would light up whenever he talked about them.  John was also very proud of his Irish heritage and his membership with the Shannon Rovers Bag Pipe Band.  John will be missed by all.  May God bless John and his family always.  

My sincere condolences to Dee, John and the rest of Mr. Doyle’s family. I’ve known Mr. D for over 20 years, and I always enjoyed visiting the Doyle’s house and seeing him. So many memories in their back yard - that was Mr. D’s masterpiece keeping the back yard so beautiful! 4th of July was always my favorite with Mr. D shooting off fireworks. My heart goes out to the entire family. You’re all in my thoughts; love to you all. XO, Lisa 

Our condolences are expressed to the family of Sergeant John Doyle Jr., on behalf of the Chicago Police Sergeants Association.  May his soul rest in peace.
