Dennis Wilson “Doc” Dougherty
Dennis
Wilson Dougherty “Doc”, 74, of Wilmington, Delaware passed away at home
with his loving family by his side on September 26, 2021.
Doc was born in Wilmington, Delaware to Howard and Eula
Dougherty. He was a proud 1965 graduate of Claymont High School and served
in the Air Force. During his service he met his wife, JoAnn
Bosch. They married in June 1970 and had three beautiful daughters. He
retired after 37 years as an Ironworker from General Chemical. Although
many would argue his true profession was delivering a joke. He enjoyed race
car driving, riding motorcycles, bowling, and boating. During retirement he
enjoyed spending time at all of his clubs: the Delaware Veterans Club,
AMVETS, Moose, Eagles, VFW, American Legion, and the ROMEO (Retired Old Men
Eating Out) Club.
Doc was preceded in death by his parents, Howard and Eula
Dougherty and his brother, Robert Dougherty.
He is survived by his wife of 51 years, JoAnn,
daughters Nicole Masci (Greg), Carrie Pini (Carlo), and Melissa Dougherty. Grandchildren
Kylee, Elizabeth, Michael, Emily, Angelina, AJ, and Nicholas.
