Dear Shirley and Dougherty Family:
Mary Jo and I were deeply saddened when our daughter Diane Cross told us of Mr. Doughtery's passing. He was an outstanding positive influence on our grandson, Zachary during a time when Zachary needed a close and trusted friend. We will forever be thankful for the time, the effort, the guidance and friendship Mr. Dougherty shared with Zachary. Zachary really loved and respected Mr. Dogherty. We feel this relationship will have a long term impact on...

Dear Amy and family, I can only imagine what an example your father must have been from knowing you and her sister and niece. May God comfort you as you celebrate the life of your father and grandfather. Joel and Jeannie Husyer

Dear Amy and family - you are in the thoughts and prayer of many here in the US and in Nicaragua. Sharon Brinks

Dearest Shirley and Dougherty Family,
We are so truly blessed to have gotten to meet and know Joe this Summer. What a wonderful legacy he has left in your family. It is apparent in each and every one of you that we have met that his passion for life lives on. A photo of Shirley and Joseph on July 3, 2011 at Kathleen and Joseph's engagement party shows the love.

Our prayers and heartfelt condolences during this time of loss.

I served under Col. Dougherty in the University of Kentucky Air Force ROTC back in 1980. He was one of a kind. He never bragged about any of his many accomplishments. The model officer, I think.

My deepest condolences to his family.

May our loving God enfold each of you as you grieve the loss of your wonderful husband,father and grandfather.
