Not sure what to say?

Heartfelt condolences to Jim´s family. He was a great guy, always kind, giving, and full of laughs. One of my earliest memories of Jim is him giving Pat and I the keys to his rental car and telling us to go have fun. I think we were 15! I´m sorry I missed his memorial. His memory is certainly a blessing to all who were privileged to know him.

Thank you for your service to our country. Rest In Peace.

Jim Doherty was my Dad. He was always full of stories and jokes. He had a kind heart and helped so many people. Dad was so strong in life even though it was not always easy he persevered through brain damage and various illnesses over the years. He always knew the answer to any question from what car parts you needed to almost any subject in life. He loved his family so much. My sister Kat and I shared a bond stronger than the universe. He will be greatly missed. Thank you Dad for an amazing...

Jim had a lively zest for life, mixed with a compassionate and caring personality. His humorous outlook regarding everyday happenings and news events made for amusing conversations that were entertaining. Every so often he would show up with another vehicle that he had acquired that had sparked his passion and interest in tucks and cars. His spontaneous visits and his friendliness and friendship will be missed. Art and Bonnie

Jim was such a wonderful guy. (I often remarked on how good-looking he was!!!!!) And he always wanted to make folks laugh. Every time I went over to visit his sister, Jan, he told a joke. Of course, it was often the SAME joke that he had told me before, but it still got a laugh. We will certainly miss his warm presence.

Jim was a truly good person. Always a pleasure to talk to. He will be missed by all who knew him.

Dear Jim, his spirit is free and hopefully having some enriching new experiences to add to his many interesting ones already gained. So interesting! I remember his gentle smile and manner, and the sparkle in his eyes. A nice comfort gift to us who were lucky enough to have known him. Hugs to his family members and friends...
