“In loving memory of Patrick J. Doherty, Wishing you peace to bring comfort, courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to forever hold in your hearts. This is devasting news! Not only were we author/editor but we were friends. I loved him! He was such a gifted writer! He had an inherent sadness about him but because of my speech disability I couldn't just pick up the phone and cheer him up. Heartbreaking! I'll be in touch soon, Denise. All of my love and heartfelt sympathy! Linda AAKP”

Chuck Oliva lit a candle

“I met Patrick maybe 10 years ago at Mitchell’s. We instantly connected and hit it off. I would stop by the bar hoping I would run into him. We always had great conversations. He truly was a great person! I got him a job with a friend of mine who owned the company I worked for and we worked together for awhile. It was great! We hung out, talked about music and the White Sox! He was one of the best guys I ever met. He will surely be missed.”
