"Mr. Doyle Sims was a wonderful fellow with whom to associate. He was always the gentleman, always had a great story to tell. He helped so many people with disabilities in our state (Mississippi)and was a great friend of the disability and vocational rehab communities. I am sorry to hear of his passing. I know he will be greatly missed. If there is anyone in Heaven needing a prosthesis, I am certain Doyle is trying his best to serve them. God Bless.

"I am very sorry to hear of Doyle's passing. Doyle and my Father were very close and he always remembered my Mother's birthday. I was very touched when Doyle drove to Trumann to attend my Mother's memorial service in 2002. He was a very good man and I will miss him.
