Larry Doherty Obituary
Larry was born February 10, 1961, in Cleveland to Robert and Marion Doherty. Rumor has it that he was such a big baby that the Cleveland Browns stopped by to visit.
Mr. Doherty was a professional over-the-road truck driver and an avid Harley Davidson rider. He participated annually in the Rolling Thunder Ride and made one memorable trip to Sturgis. He was founder and CEO of Useless Knowledge, Inc.
He is survived by brothers, Robert Jr. (Susie), Joe Horvath and Steve Horvath; sister, Kim Gregal; nieces, Jennifer Doherty and Brooke Gregal; nephews, Daniel Doherty and Michael, Logan and Trent Gregal; and beloved cat, Kitty.
Calling hours will be from 4 to 8 p.m. Friday, May 9 at Orlando-Donsante Funeral Home, 29550 Euclid Avenue, Wickliffe, Ohio 44092, 440-943-2466.
Services will be held at 12 noon Saturday, May 10 at the Orlando-Donante Funeral Home. Following the services, there will be a procession out to All Souls Cemetery in Chardon. Bikers are not only welcome, but encouraged to participate in the procession as this was a big part of Larry's life.
Larry was a friend to all who crossed his path and will most definitely be missed!

Thank you Lord for Larry's brotherhood, discipleship, & patriotism to this world. I miss him every day & feel his spirit every day that goes by.
Always an honor being called his brother,
'Yo-yo-yo' Lar, (as he'd call to say when he was getting on the road)...
Yo-yo-yo, my truest friend...
Always & forever,

Kim and family. I am so very sorry for the lose of Larry. He was a friend of my brothers, and in some way, one of the last connections to them. Larry was a huge part of their lives that I can't believe he's gone. My heart breaks with you.
