Arthur Lee “Butch” Doyle – 69, Truro, passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family on Thursday, June 10, 2021 in the Colchester East Hants Health Centre, Truro.
Born in Truro, he was a son of the late Ralph and Mildred (Roode) Doyle.
Harness racing was in Butch’s blood, spending every waking moment at the Truro Raceway and was often willing to help with anything that needed to be done there.

Family and friends meant everything to Butch. He will be missed by all who knew and loved him.
