I was very saddened when I saw this. God bless the family for Doodle is in a better place now. as others has said, if he only had met you twice, he would call you by name anytime he saw you there-after. Doodle, u will be missed.

My name is Frank Golden and it is with great sadness yet with great pride that I read these comments about Doodle and his passing. You see, some of the comments are from people who never even meet Doodle, yet knew him through his great vision, generosity, good works, and compassion. This is the mark of a truly great man. The fact is that the dynamics of 30A is in a large part the results of the vision and "guts" of Doodle Harris. Doodle was a deal maker and would take a risk when others would not. I am privileged to say that I did know Doodle personally and at one time purchased a piece of property from him. It was a great and proftible experience. Doodle and I are about the same age and I will always have only the greatest respect for him and what he meant to the area. SoWal owes him a great thank you! My condolences go out to his family and friends for their great loss. My friend, Rest in Peace, you will be sorely missed. Who will fill your shoes? JFG

A great man!!!

WE will always remember him for the great things he did and the caring heart he had for everyone he came in contact with. He always brought a smile to my face whether he was at the ball park, basketball game, or passing him on the street, he always had a warm inviting smile for me. My heart goes out to all his friends and family. The services were great, I laughed and I cried, it was a true honor to be there gathered with everyone in his memory. He will be missed.
