I worked with Dan for over 12 years at M-B & another 4 years before that while I was the bookkeeper for a subcontractor.  In fact Dan was instrumental in my getting a job at M-B by putting in a good word with Erma.  We cross country skied many miles together and although we both had had heart operations & he was 20 years my senior he was always out front.  Good bye my friend.    

Good afternoon Dougherty cousins,
We are so sorry for the loss of your dad. He was a great guy and we always had fun with him when he was here in Butte. Know we are thinking about all of you. Sar, Seaneen, Danette, Barney and Emmett Dougherty

He kindly agreed to be my confirmation sponsor. I respected his quiet influence and humor. He could whistle harmony parts to the songs that played on the car radio - a skill I thought was amazing. My thoughts are with Pat and Tim and Tom and all of the family.
