Ottie Doyle was an RCA MTP (Missle Test Project) employee when I knew him in 1964 on Ascension Island. ---George Hilley

Ottie was one of my most memorable characters. We worked together on Antigua in the early 70's and enjoyed many libations and much golf and tall tales of his Navy days. After he retired from RCA (triple dipper!)he lived on Merritt Island for many years and we continued to enjoy a cocktail at various saloons. He moved to the Navy Retirement Home in Gulfport, MS and passed away there. He is buried in the Brevard Memorial Garden Veterans section on Merritt Island where his wife (Edith) was buried some years earlier. ---Larry Smith
