I remember Mr. Doherty from John Adams H.S. (1976 grad)
Along with Mr. Feingold and Mr. Ostrosky, they were the best Phys. Ed. teachers. I never made the cut for the baseball team, but no hard feelings. I really wasn't that great. Rest in power, Mr. Doherty.

I played on the John Adams Football teams of 1962 & 63. Marty was a tough task master who not only made football players from young boys , he built character. It was a honor to play for him.
My sincere condolences to his family.

Outstanding coach and leader who encouraged all and provided many opportunities for the boys on his teams at Adams. He was one of several coaches that made John Adams H.S. a formidable school in football, baseball and basketball citywide- Sleep in peace, Coach

RIP. Great coach. Always appreciated his sense of humor. I think Ostro, Doherty and Palumbo had as big an influence on my life as any person before or since. The problem is you don´t realize it until you are able to look back after a lifetime and then you start to understand the parts they played....

My brother, Steve, and I played baseball for Coach. D. at John Adams in the 60's and 70's. He was one of the best men I have ever had the privilege to know. Next to my dad, Mr. Doherty, helped me the most to be the man I am today.
