My father recently passed away. Here are a couple of the obituaries:



Chicago Sun Times, June 12, 2003 -- J. Stuart Doyle, WWII Code Breaker.  
Ran cryptographical unit for Navy, taught at Northwestern

Daily Southtown, June 13, 2003 -- Late-blooming lawyer J. Stuart Doyle dies.  
Graduated from DePaul Law School at age 66

He was an amazing guy.  



My granddad, Anton J. Haug, was a successful inventor, and a great inspiration to me. 
 
Here's a list of some of his inventions.



And if you'd like to read something completely different, try 
Whitemare, by former FBI Special Agent (and my brother) Geoff Doyle.  
Whitemare is the compelling story of the international FBI 
investigation that resulted in what was the largest seizure of 
heroin in U.S. history. It takes the reader behind the scenes in 
the making of this spellbinding case and exposes for the reader’s 
consideration the unabridged factors which impacted daily on the 
agents and other investigators. It removes the myth and hype that 
surround many other law enforcement accounts of true crime while 
presenting the stress-filled and riveting moments along with the 
humorous, monotonous and frustrating ones. Whitemare is the 
unforgettable true story of a remarkable international law enforcement 
victory.
