Doodle retired from Carpenter Body Works, and was co-owner, with his brother, Richard, of Briscoe Mobile Homes before retiring. He then worked with his brother, Basil, doing carpentry work. Those who knew Doodle knew how much he enjoyed working with his hands, such as carpentry, woodworking, and just keeping busy. He built his own go-cart and enjoyed racing it. After he stopped racing, he loved watching sprint cars, especially Kevin and Chase. An avid card player, he especially looked forward to his Wednesday night game with Richard, David, Annick, Pauline, Bonnie, and Danny. He loved dancing with all his friends, and going to the boat also filled his retirement years. Doodle and Margie certainly dedicated their lives to their family. Doodle was someone who truly lived his life of 90 years……….wooeee!!!!!!
