It's been almost a year and I miss my Jack so much. I know he'd be proud of me and what i've done in the year without him. I bought my very first car ever and when I drive to Boston on the weekends I'm safe and I know how impotant that always was to him.He loved cars and always wanted a new one every 3 years. Some days are better then others. I will always love you, Jack.

Please accept my sincere condolences. I met Jack in Florida thru a mutual friend Ken Hachey. I really enjoyed his company. He was a real gentlemen and had a great sense of humor. He will be missed by all of us.

Dear Betsy, Michelle and Family,
Jack was a true gentleman, but, even more importantly, a gentle man. Like so many of his colleagues and friends, those of us who have known Jack for so very long, as well as those who have only recently had the privilege of working with him, I will miss him very much. Now that his earthly journey has ended, may he rest in the eternal peace that he so bravely earned and so richly deserves. On behalf of my wife, Stephanie, and our entire family, I wish to extend to you and yours, our deepest sympathies. Please know that you will be in our thoughts and prayers.

Please accept my deepest condolences. I met Jack for the first time last September. he was very kind, focussed, deliberate in his talk and the short steps of his walk. I recall commending him on his work and report on the increase in DPL penalties. He was very proud of this accomplishment. He resonated pride and within moments of a short conversation with Jack one could tell instantly tell that there were fires of integrity that burned deep within his heart. I will miss his passion for diligence. He was truly a good man.

Jack Doherty was always wonderful to work with, he was always thinking and trying to be helpful. Just last week, he was directing me around New Hampshire and Maine. Each Christmas, Santa Jack will be missed and his Elvis Presley renditions. My condolences to his loving wife and daughter. Paula King

Dear Besty and Michelle I am so sad to hear of Jack's passing. I have so many fond memories of us growing up in Aunt Lena and Gilda's house always throwing snow balls and playing horse shoes in the back yard of the Pleasant Cafe.
working with you Jack and Martini was so much fun. He will be sadly missed.
