I have a lot of memories of Pop-Pop growing up, but my fondest memories revolve around playing games. The production of playing bingo with the multitude of cousins and Pop-Pop at the helm is my earliest. He was always deliberate with his calling and did not stand for his players losing focus. You certainly did not want to yell out “Bingo” incorrectly, but the amusement and joy in his eyes with his family gathered around him was evident.
The second is when he taught me how to play marbles. I don’t know what inspired him to attempt that, but he spent hours teaching me and playing with me. He showed me an abundance of patience, dedication, and generosity by giving me his time and a set of his marbles. I still have them.
The third is when we had a four-hour game of Parcheesi that simply would not end. Neither one of us gave up and we bonded over sharing the same level of intense competitiveness. (For those interested in the outcome, I won.)
On the surface, Pop-Pop seemed reserved and stern, but he showed his love and values through his actions. When I went to college and started my first job, he was one of my biggest supporters and that meant the world to me. He often told me that I was just like my dad - that was one of the most meaningful compliments I could ever receive. I will continue to carry his spirit with me.
Rest in peace, Pop-Pop. Love, Brie.

My earliest memories of Uncle Joe go back to Stella St., must have been about 1953. I was in bed and Uncle Joe and Aunt Rebe came up and he suddenly shouted "Tarzan"! and produced a Tarzan comic book. Another memory was nanny smiling and we watched Uncle Joe and Aunt Rebe walk away before they were married. In Juniata Uncle Joe was always fixing people's TVs and replacing vacuum tubes. When my teammate Campbell hit an opposite field home run out of Picolli, Uncle Joe was one of the first to be shouting that the ball actually went out, not bounced over like everyone was yelling. I remember thinking I never saw Uncle Joe mad before. Uncle Joe was just infinitely practical and always trying to help -- with everything. I watched in amazement as slowly, over many years, with careful planning, he built what seems to be a real estate empire, which essentially flowed down to his children and grandchildren -- and there were many of them. I hope the Dougherty's never forget -- in thirty and forty years and beyond that this is where their success all started-- a tool and dye Catholic Irish-American success story

We remember the many times we shouted "hello" from our car window as we passed Uncle Joe walking Ernie in the neighborhood, the great family get togethers and the wonderful hospitality Uncle Joe and Aunt Rebe showed our family. We especially remember when ten of us walked down to Uncle Joe and Aunt Rebe's house on an icy Christmas night and surprised them by singing Christmas carols outside. Wonderful memories. Rest in peace, Uncle Joe, we will miss you. Love, Peg and John

I'll never forget how special it was to have Uncle Joe and Aunt Rebe at our wedding in 2011. They won a contest for being married the longest! Couples were dancing and one by one, the couples dropped off as the DJ asked who had been married for 40 years...50 years...the last ones standing were Uncle Joe and Aunt Rebe. They looked so happy and proud that day. And I read now they were married for 71 wonderful years in total - just incredible! I'll always remember that happy day with them. Sending love to the whole Dougherty family.
Love,
Meg and Shane Gebhard

Visiting the Dougherty Family (one street over) on Howland Street in Grade and High School with Uncle Joe's niece Kathy was always a special treat for me. I will always cherish the memories of how warm, welcoming and fun Uncle Joe, Aunt Reebe and the boys were. Fortunately over the years I was able to keep up with Uncle Joe's life through Kathy and hear all about what a devoted and terrific Husband, Father, Grandfather, Uncle and "Doggy Dad" he was. My sincere sympathies go out to Aunt Reebe, Joe, Jim, Jack, Jeff and the entire family, Donna DeFay Cashman

In my growing up in the Dougherty household I always remember the strong hearty laugh, the stern father who always had his family as his number 1. I think that the military background had a lot to do with that. He was also very handsome. As a friend of Jim's mostly but with all the love from Joe, Jack, Jeff and of course Mrs. Dougherty and grandmom, I felt like a part of their family. As all dads, after a hard day at work he had his downtime. He was always in his chair with a beer at his feet. One of my fondest memories was the monthly visit by the church, Priests, and nuns who would come to the house assessing the donation that they were looking for. Me, as the jewish son, would be the lookout for how many houses away they were. "they are 4 houses away!", and Mr. Dougherty would just grumble. Then we all sat while he talked with them as they came up with what they owed. Years later I saw him at the wedding of Jim's daughter, Katherine. The smile on everyones faces made me feel right at home again. I could go on and all about christmas's and other holidays I spent with them but I will end with I am so grateful that I got to be a part of the Dougherty household for youth and growing up years. Love, Harris Blickman

Pop-Pop, it is more than a week since your passing and I am still struggling to find the words. You lived many years - as good a life as any - and yet it still feels like it wasn't long enough. For years, it seemed we were on different pages. Me, a highly active kid (so I'm told), and you, an older, wiser man who seemed to have it figured out. I watched in amazement as you'd eat a morning cup of fruit, work on the crossword puzzle or cryptograph, read a book, watch the Phillies if they were on TV or listen to the radio broadcast, eat dinner, and then relax with a can of beer and some pretzels. As a kid, this daily routine seemed overly structured, mundane, and devoid of excitement. All the while, you seemed perfectly content. As I've gotten older and maybe a little wiser in my years, I've realized the meaning of it all. I was bearing witness to someone at peace. You found contentment in the simple pleasures of life, yet you never stopped working hard to earn your keep and keep what you earned. You taught us to "measure twice, cut once", though sometimes it seemed we doubled or trebled that advice. You were always a teacher and quick with a story or lesson that would be as entertaining as it was enriching. Thank you for being a terrific grandfather and instilling the important values and virtues we hope to pass on for generations to come. Love always, Jimmy Doc, Jr.

It will be impossible for me to think back on my time growing up in Warrington and not think of Uncle Joe. All the memories of him being at our house on Euclid Ave for holidays or family parties, bumping into each other at Target, seeing him walking Ernie around the neighborhood. I’ll always remember his wonderful stories, terrific sense of humor, and above all else his devotion to his family. I’ll always be thankful for having those memories.
Love, John

Although he wasn’t my “real” Uncle, Uncle Joe was a very special man! I remember him with a smile on his face, always, especially when he was with his family. I remember seeing him at the C-View a couple of times, which I think was one of his favorite Cape May spots having a sandwich and a beer. I will keep those memories close and will keep the Dougherty family and Aunt Reebe in my prayers. Rest in Peace, Uncle Joe. ❤️

Rest in Peace Pop-Pop. The other day at the beach Nate was in the ocean and there were a few big waves. I told him that when I was a little girl you told me that when a big wave comes to turn around so your back is toward the wave. You said it will give you better stability on your feet. After I told him that, he did it and was so happy it worked. Nate loves history and every time he sees/reads something about WWII, he talks about you. I'll be sure he and Nick will always remember you. You will be greatly missed and I know you are looking down on us from Heaven.
Love,
Katie

My Dad was proud of his US Army Military experience. Growing up, in addition to my Dad, most all of my friends' Dads served in WWII. When asked about his wartime participation, Dad responded simply "we did our jobs; that's all." In was only very later in his life did my Dad share some of his gruesome and horrific memories of the battles against a desperate Wehrmacht in 1944 - 1945. These were great men. No doubt, these men formed "The Greatest Generation."

My father-in-law, Joe, was an exacting man. He was always kind, fair and spoke his mind. On the day I married his son Jim, he wished me good luck. His tone was inferring you are going to need luck with this guy. He also apologized for not telling me before our nuptials that he had a “No Return” policy. Jim was all mine forever. My father-in-law also had a great sense of humor.
