As a nephew and a member of Local 401 words can't say what "Uncle Joe" means to me. He is the greatest in every way possible and will always be a hero in my heart. Eastfalls and Local 401 hang a heavy heart today. Love u Doc Dave B & Meg

Thoughts and Prayers for the entire Dougherty family. Joe was a fantastic and amazing guy.

Sorry for your loss. Joe was a great person and changed so many lives. Joe changed my life and the lives of so many Ironworkers. He truly cared about all the members of Local 401. He made us all proud to be a part of a great union.

Sorry for your loss, Joe had a positive impact on many people, he will be missed

Rest In Peace Joe Prayers for your family

You will be missed Joe!!
