John Docherty III

Sending healing energies to Velma and the family. I've worked with Velma for more than thirty years. I know how much she loves Jack and the family. Love to all.

Our condolences go out to Velma ,Shane, Erin,Shannon and family. We will always have fond memories of Jack and his wonderful hospitaliy. He always made you feel welcome. Rest in peace Jack .

Mr. Docherty was an angel on earth. I´ve never met anyone as optimistic and positive as him. Getting to know him over the last 5 years at the Market cafe was an absolute joy. All servers loved to see him come in with Velma and the family, we will always have a table for the Docherty´s. Wishing the Docherty´s healing as they go through this process.

Mr. Docherty was such a nice person. I have been lucky enough to had gotten the chance to serve him as his server for over 3 years and he taught me so much and always brought a smile to all of us at The Market Cafe. He always had kind words to say and I had gotten the chance to see how much he loved his wife Velma. He let me in and I got to meet his family and he was just such a joyful man till the very end. I sure will miss him but the impact he brought to me will never be forgotten.

Heaven welcomes a great family man with unwavering faith and probity. For all of us, who had the pleasure to spend time with Jack and learn about his life are better for it and were given a blueprint to live an extraordinary life and what it takes to achieve. Jack was not only a great storyteller but was always genuinely interested in everyone else in the room. He is now gone from this world and we certainly grieve over that but we rejoice over our good fortune having had him with us for so...

What a great guy with so many accomplishments including raising a great family.

Jack "Doc" Docherty, Many many memories with you, Velma, Shane and all of your family and friends!! Speaking for all that have spent time with you over the years, you will be missed very much, but never forgotten!! I am a much better person for having the chance to meet and spend time with you!

Jack made everyone he came in contact with feel better. Always greeting you with a smile and a hug. Genuinely interested in whatever conversation took place . He was family to me and I loved him. I´m sorry I´ll never see his smiling face again, but happy knowing he´s in heaven. All my best to Velma, Shannon, Shane , Molly and Erin Mark Massei

Jack was a beloved UVA fraternity brother, who will be sorely missed by all who have had the privilege to have known him. We have kept in touch almost every day via e-mails and I know that he's in a better place now after meeting Jesus. My sympathy to Velma and the rest of his family for their great loss. Gerry A.
