Joseph \”Œjoe\” Dougherty
Joseph \"Joe\" Dougherty, 69, of Goode passed away at his residence on Thursday, May 6, 2010 after a courageous battle with cancer. He was the husband of Patricia \"Pat\" Dougherty, his high school sweetheart and wife of nearly 50 years.
Joe was born December 25, 1940 in Chester, PA. He was a son of the late John and Alice Dougherty. He was a proud graduate of St. James High School in Chester, PA and took great pleasure in working for James T. Davis Paint Company in Lynchburg VA for the past 25 years.
In addition to his wife he is survived by his children, Paddy Dougherty of Lynchburg, Jay Dougherty and wife Sheri of Forest, and Mike Dougherty and wife Colleen of Forest; his grandchildren, Peter Davies and wife Suzanna, Megan Davies, Kaitlin, Ashley, Joey, Brady, Brendan, and Shannon Dougherty; his brothers, Jack Dougherty and wife Geri, Jim Dougherty and wife Peg, Jerry Dougherty and wife Mary; and sister Judy Flood. He was preceded in death by infant daughter Kathleen Dougherty.
Joe was a family man who believed that you create family wherever you go. To his immediate family and friends he was \"Popa Joe\". To his co-workers and community at large he was \"Dr. Joe\" and to his favorite golfing buddies, Joe, Lenny, and Paul at Colonial Hills he was \"Easy Money\".
\"Team Dougherty\" would like to extend their deepest gratitude to the medical teams at UVA and Centra Health who cared for him as if he were their own. This journey was eased by all who shared their love, support and prayers too numerous to mention.
The family will receive friends Saturday, May 15, 2010 from 9:00-11:00 a.m. at St. Thomas More Catholic Church with a Mass of Resurrection at 11:00 a.m. Inurnment at the church immediately following mass.
