Wondering if this is Russel Dougherty that went to Pickerington in Middle school? We have been working on our 30 year reunion and I had asked about Russell and if anyone knew where he was. When I didn't locate him on FB I thought I would check the Obituarys.
If this is him maybe you could send me a few pictures so we can honor him. Sorry for your loss.

It is difficult to believe that you are gone... The times that I spoke with you I loved the way your mood elevated when you told me about your beautiful children. You were definitely a proud dad. You left behind an incredible legacy. I know you struggled- I am happy that you are at peace now my friend.
I love you Russ... "Never Say Goodbye"
