Yesterday, mom came to be with you dad. My heart aches, but I believe she is where she wanted to be. I am blessed that I had those few days with you, and happy that the back massages and lotion soothed your pain. 

I will always remember my uncle Johnny he had a great influence on the direction I took in my life. I admired his analytical, problem solving and attention to detail when would discuss anything from fixing electrical equipment to automotive repair or just thing a boy would talk to a man about. In my youth we spent allot of time with him my aunt Shirley, Uncle Tony and aunt Aggie. IT was the best of times them together with my parents we laughed and there was alway so much love and admiration for everyone there. Him and my aunt were always glad to see me and my family we vacationed with them in Amish country several times in the 80's and in the 90's in Florida in the winters when they would snow bird. I will really miss them both thank you uncle John for all the great memories I will carry with me forever it was an honor to know you and aunt Shirley.

I remember my Uncle Johnny from when we were all little kids.  Joan, his daughter and I were best friends.  I loved going over to their house.  Uncle Johnny was a very hard worker, and had an innate intelligence of how things worked, how to build a home and just about anything having to do with electrical.  He had a dry and funny sense of humor.  He and his two brothers along with my dad and several other uncles used to get together and play horse shoes over a cold beer.  I can still hear those guys ribbing one another, laughing and making jokes about who was going to make the next point.  Those were fun and happy days when we were all together.  The last time I saw Uncle Johnny was last October at my mom's (his sister Phoebe) funeral.  He took the time to drive all the way across the state in his impeccable Cadillac with my Aunt Shirley to pay his respects.I may not have spent much time with him but he was my God Father, my best cousin/friend's dad and I loved him.  I will keep the memories I have of him alive in my heart.  God's Speed Uncle Johnny.

Our thoughts remain with you and your family at this time. We are honored by the trust and confidence you have placed in us during this difficult time.- The Staff of James J. Dougherty Funeral Home
