Thomas Edward Dougherty

The only thing bigger than Tommy’s feet was his heart and his courage. My best bud for 75 years. I miss you my buddy.

My name is Jim Gore. Becky and l knew you and Tom when you lived in Columbia SC and we both worked for Public Finance Co as managers. Becky reminded me today that after we moved to Charleston we had to return to Columbia and we spent the night with you folks.
Tom came to mind a few days ago and we began our search both in our mind and on Goggle. I’m 82 years of age and worked with Public Finance intil 1974. The good Lord called me to the Christian ministry and I was a pastor/preacher for 40 years, finally retiting at age 78 in 2016.
We have fond memories of you and Tom and your children and sympathize with you in his homegoing. I remrmber you all to be Christians so we will see each other again when the Lord calls us home.
We’re living in the mountains of NC, have six grown grandchildren and 5 great grands. Our phone number is 336-957-1452. May God continue to bless you and yours. Jim

I was very pleased to call Tom a friend. I was always happy to spend time with him during tax season in my office and throughout the remainder of the year.

We want to thank all the kind and generous relatives, friends and the great people of Spokane on behalf of my late Father Thomas E. Dougherty. Your kindness will not be forgotten. From Thomas J. Dougherty, Eldest Son.

We have loved Tom for 60+ years. We are so saddened by his death. We wish we could have been there. My sister and niece went for us as they knew your folks as well. Jim was in the service with him and he was my Godfather. Tommy, We are your Godparents. I want to get in touch with Margene. Can you tell me how to do that? P. S. Your parents and a group of girls went to a picnic at the lake and a group of the guys from the base came out and I met Jim. We were in each other's weddings. We lost contact with them when they moved away from Spokane. Please contact us.
Love, Marilyn and Jim.

Thank you for your service to our country. Rest in peace.

The Washington State Veterans Cemetery extends our deepest sympathies to the family of Thomas E. Dougherty for your loss. We honor him for the service and sacrifice he made for our nation, he is a true hero.

To all Tom's family,
I send my deepest condolences. Your dad was a wonderful boss and friend to me from 1988 until he retired in 2001. We worked closely together the last 8 years before he retired. He made me feel so valued from the moment I started working there. He sure did grow Telco tremendously in his time there, building strong capital and offering products and services that were cutting edge for the times! I was always so proud we had a leader that was so advanced in his thinking. I still see his excitement having me come in his office and showing me how the "world wide web" worked! Not too many years after that we were hearing we were going to have Online Banking and then Bill Payer. Little Telco? You bet we were! I still hear his New York accent that would come out from time to time, too! He truly will be in my heart and memory forever. God bless you all during this difficult time.

Dear Tommy
Don't forget to "Bore the hole, pull me through pull me up , get me into heaven. I'm counting on it and depending on you once again". P.S. Maybe this time we will make it to the circus. Only this time we won't have to hop that freight car. Your pal always and forever. Tony "Big Ange" Perrone. Luvyaface!

You are in our thoughts. Sending all of you hugs.

Love Lorie and Theresa

So sorry for your loss
