Capt. Larry Spencer Doyle U.S.N. (Ret.)

Captain LARRY SPENCER DOYLE, USN, Ret.

Captain LARRY SPENCER DOYLE, USN, Ret., of Nevada City, took his final flight on Sunday, June 29. He was 62. He was a gracious husband, father, grandfather and friend who was always willing and able to help.

Born in Hawthorne, Nevada, in 1946, Larry was the only son of Edmond and Ruth Doyle. Raised in Eureka, California, Larry was a member of the Eureka High Class of 1964 and a Humboldt State University graduate. While there, he was active in the Boy Scouts, theater, ran track, played banjo and rebuilt classic cars. Subsequently, he earned two graduate degrees.

Larry joined the Navy in 1967, graduated flight training, earned his wings of gold as a Naval Aviator, and was assigned as an instructor pilot in jet trainers. Larry met the love of his life, Judy, while stationed in Meridian, Mississippi and they were married in 1972. Larry was transferred to Lemoore, California where he flew the A-7E Corsair II for sixteen years, including a tour as Commanding Officer of VA-94, the Mighty Shrikes. Under his leadership, the squadron received honors as the best attack squadron in the Pacific Fleet. Larry later deployed to Saudi Arabia in support of Operations DESERT STORM/DESERT SHIELD. He retired from his military career after 27 years with 5300+ accident-free flight hours in eleven different aircraft. He earned the Legion of Merit, the Bronze Star, and Defense Meritorious Service Medal, among other awards and decorations.

After retiring from the Navy and moving to Nevada County in 1994, Larry continued to share his love of flying by managing and instructing student pilots at the Beale Air Force Base Aero Club. Hundreds of students were inspired and educated under his capable and friendly tutelage.

While a gifted and impassioned pilot, Larry’s loves also included the mountains, history, sailing, photography, wood-working and tinkering with just about anything mechanical. Larry helped build a cabin at Diamond Lake, Oregon, at the age of 10, rebuilt a competitive sail boat, and renovated a hundred-year old farm house in Lemoore. A loving father, he imparted his passions of working with his hands, sailing, flying, and the outdoors to his sons.

Larry will be remembered for graciously lending a hand, a tool, or his time to any and all. He was a deeply loved husband, father, grandfather, and friend. His ready smile and sound counsel will be missed.

He is survived and loved by his wife of 36 years, Judy, son and daughter-in-law Roger and Kerry, son and daughter-in-law Matthew and Kara, son, Joseph, granddaughters Abby and Grace, and sister Carolyn.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Sierra Presbyterian Church “Stove Fund” or your favorite charity.
