Not sure what to say?

Kathy, I am so sorry to hear of Dick's passing. He was so nice to me when I first moved home from Oklahoma. He was so welcoming at the club. This is such a loss.

Condolences to the family of Dick Doherty. We were high school and college friends, and he served as an usher at our wedding some 58 years ago . Many fond memories of his early days of establishing himself in the local comedy scene he was determined to make it and worked very hard to achieve it. We also got to know his brother and his mom. He was a good man from a great family. Always remember his sense of humor quick wit and big smile. Rest In Peace

Kathy, I am so sad to hear that Dick has passed. Never saw him happier than when he was with you. You and the entire family are in my thoughts and prayers. I hope that he is dancing in the sky.

He is now resting in peace
