Dear Joan,
I am sorry for your loss and ours. I never had the pleasure of meeting you, but Donnie was the adopted son and brother to the whole Doherty Family of 870 Main Street in Woburn. We were blessed, as were many others, to know and love him these many years. I will miss him and his infectious laugh.
