John F. Doyle

John F. Doyle, 85, of Goshen, MA passed away peacefully on Wednesday, September 25, 2024, at the Cooley Dickinson Hospital in Northampton. Jack was born in New York City on August 22, 1939, the son of John and Mary (Safko) Doyle. Jack graduated from Georgetown University. Following college, he joined the US Army and served his country honorably, serving at Letterman General Hospital in San Francisco. Jack spent many years working as a bond trader and as an investment analyst for large banks and companies, including State Street Bank, First Virginia Bank, Chase Manhattan Bank, Jennison Associates, and Markov Processes. He also formed a partnership with Andrew Carter with offices over Boston’s iconic Union Oyster House. Following his time in the corporate world, Jack and his wife Nancy moved to Cape Cod and opened Eden Microcomputers in Osterville, one of the first stores of its kind. Jack had an unmatched curiosity about everything, and he was always up for an adventure. You may have caught him biking the hills of Sonoma, rollerblading through Palo Alto, cross-country skiing in the White Mountains, or searching for France’s hidden Michelin star restaurants. Jack loved to read, loved hummingbirds, pineapple upside-down cake, and Zinfandel. He would drive a whole day to fulfill Nancy’s ice cream craving. Jack humbly helped everyone he could, and his presence inspired confidence. As Grampa, he couldn’t get enough of his grandchildren. When he wasn’t around them in person, he texted and shared pictures and stories with and about them. He was a “glass-pretty-much-completely-full” kind of guy, always choosing the bright side of life and he will be deeply missed. He is survived by his loving and devoted wife Nancy (Schubauer) Doyle of Goshen, his son Bryan Doyle and his wife Denise of Huntington, MD, his daughter Ellen Doyle and her husband James Lance of Williamsburg, MA his sister Mary Jane Driscoll of Tarrytown, NY, and two grandchildren. All services for Jack will be held privately at the convenience of the family. Donations in John’s memory may be made to The Cooley Dickinson Hospital in appreciation for the care Jack received.
