William Doherty Obituary
We are sad to announce that on August 7, 2020, at the age of 65, William Doherty of Edison, New Jersey, born in New Brunswick, New Jersey passed away. Family and friends are welcome to leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family.
He was predeceased by: his brother Raphael Doherty; and his parents, Ann Doherty and John Doherty. He is survived by: his wife Sharon Doherty (Hopkins); his children, William Doherty (Sara) of Edison, Erin Doherty (Rich Santa) of Maryland and Shane Doherty of Edison; his siblings, John "Jack" Doherty, Suzanne McGuinness, Robert Doherty, Joseph Doherty (Doris), Michael Doherty (Karen) and Patrick Doherty (Christine); and his grandson Sean Doherty. He is also survived by many nieces and nephews.
Social distancing is to be minded with requests of no physical contact, and temperatures will be taken at the door.
Family also asks should donations be made in lieu of flowers, that they be sent to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (http://www.cff.org), an organization held closely to William's heart. A donation would honor his nephew, Richard Doherty, who tackles Cystic Fibrosis every day, and his late nephew, Danny McGuinness, who was taken from us after a long, courageous battle with this disease.
