LP Gas Hall of Fame Inductee – Class of 2024
A propane industry veteran of more than 40 years, Randy Doyle started his career as an internal audit manager at MAPCO/Thermogas in 1981.
In that time, he has become one of the industry’s biggest supporters and loudest critics. If you want to know where the industry stands, ask Doyle, who for two decades expressed his views in a column for LP Gas.
He became an active and outspoken industry member who has served in many volunteer roles for NPGA, the Propane Education & Research Council (PERC) and several state propane associations, most recently with Virginia.
One of his most significant accomplishments was co-founding the NPGA Benchmarking Council, an avenue for propane marketers to learn from one another, in 1996. He served as its first chair and developed the resources to help it thrive.
Doyle, a consultant for Holtzman Propane after retiring as CFO of Blossman Gas, co-authored research on long-term consolidation and its impact on the health of the industry. He also researched factors shaping the industry for the next decade.
In recent years, he has undertaken a lead role in a hydronic heating project created to protect the residential market and keep propane relevant amid electrification.
