Dear Freda and Family, We are saddened by Bill's death. Our prayers are with you and your beautiful family in this time of grief. Bill was always so kind and friendly to us. We will always remember the Ireland trip you and Bill organized in 1997. Hearing the hymn to Our Lady of Knock at today's funeral brought back fond memories of when Fr. Griswold offered Mass and we sang at that wonderful shrine. We will miss Bill's friendly smile. May God bless you and yours with strength and courage in the days ahead. Love and prayers,

His love for his wife, family, and others was so eloquently displayed. During our short visit, he made us feel like we were a special part of the family. What a beautiful gift and legacy.

Dear Freda and Family, I am truly saddened by the loss of Bill. He was a great man whom I really respected and admired. There are few men that I know that have such a love for their family and God, but Bill was certainly that man. His sense of humor was unsurpassed and I will miss him.

“…Sleep, sweet, devoid of fear, Where nothing need alarm thee. The Love which doth not sleep, The eternal Arms surround thee: The Shepherd of the sheep In perfect love hath found thee. Sleep through the Holy night, Christ-kept from snare and sorrow, Until thou wake to light And love and warmth to-morrow” ~Christina Rossetti Rest in peace, our dear, sweet uncle. Thank you for your life. Thank you for your love. xoxo

To Conor and family: Men like Bill O'Doherty are made of the fire and light that many of us can only aspire to in our lives. Though I only met him briefly, his spark will linger with me forever, as will the stories Conor has shared. I pray that God grant you the light of His love in the darkness of this unspeakable grief, and that you feel the strength of the continuous prayers your friends offer you for comfort and peace.

Every once in a while a man comes along that shows you how to live. He loves his God and his family. He is loyal to his friends. He is honorable in all of his dealings. He knows how to have a good time. In addition, this man shows you how to die. Fighting to the end with dignity, never complaining and keeping a sense of humor. I am proud to call this man my good friend!

To the O'Doherty Family, It is with deep sadness to learn of Bill's passing today. He was as decent a man as God ever placed on this earth; a loving and devoted husband, father and grandfather. He was a man of deep religious conviction, had a great love of his adopted country and possessed a sense of humor that made everyone in his company smile. Bill will be long remembered and held in the highest esteem by his friends at the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick of the Jersey Shore. He was the class of the organization. I will personally cherish the fond memories of Bill O'Doherty! Bob Curley
