See the full obituary from the Southampton Press/27East here.
Retired Westhampton Beach Police Chief James P. Doyle died on December 14, 2015, at the age of 83, after a decade living with Alzheimer’s disease. Born in 1932 to Joseph and Beatrice Weber Doyle, Jim grew up in Maplewood, NJ. He joined the U.S. Air Force in 1952, which brought him to the Westhampton area while serving as a mechanic for the planes of the Flying Tigers. Always meticulous about his vehicles, Jim then ran his own gas station and repair shop in Flanders. Jim joined the Westhampton Beach Police Department in the 1960’s and was appointed Chief in 1980, serving until his retirement in 1989. Jim was a proud member of the Suffolk County Police Conference, the NY State Association of Chiefs of Police, and the International Association of Chiefs of Police. His love for the Department and the Village was only surpassed by his adoration for his beloved wife Marie and his daughter Maya. He was known to his friends and family for his never ending willingness to serve others and help those in need, his ingenuity and ability to repair just about anything, and the warm and welcoming home he and Marie built together. He is predeceased by his parents and in-laws, his brothers Joe, Richard, Gene, and Robert, his sister Patricia, his brother-in-law James Monsell, and his wife Marie. He is survived by his daughter Maya, son-in-law, Jason, and his grandson, Torben, many nieces and nephews, and many good friends and neighbors.
