Charles gave me my first job in the big city when I was just shy of 22 and hardly had a clue and it was at this job that I was introduced to the best group of people I've ever worked with or known since. I don't think Charles was very comfortable being a boss, for he really just wanted to relate, and tried his best, to relate to all of us in some way. The funny thing is, looking back about a decade later, I realize now that I could relate to Charles in many more ways than I realized then. I am originally from New Jersey too and I can see now that Charles was a good ol' Jersey Boy with a great big heart who really enjoyed people and current events. I remember Gini and Shannon as cute little girls visiting the office and I know that Charles was a good family man and father. The heartfelt and beautiful things the girls have to say about their dad is the way that the man deserves to be remembered--his giant laugh and smile tell the truth. I am so deeply saddened by the untimely passing of this good soul and I pray that his family takes comfort in God during this extremely painful time. God Bless you Charles.

You will be missed. I wish I had the opportunity to shake your hand for 1 last time. my condolences to the family. I always enjoyed speaking to Charles. He was a very pleasant person and I will miss him.

My sincere condolences to the Doherty family. I worked with Charlie at Sales & Marketing Management magazine, and we tried to keep in touch regularly after that. In fact, I spoke to him just before Christmas, and he talked about his daughters, his work and family, and about moving to Howell. He was always interested in my family, my work, and the other things I was up to as well. I'll miss Charlie, miss those conversations, and regret that we won't have the chance to get together again.

I am saddened and shocked to hear of his untimely passing. My deepest condolences to the family, especially Gini and Shannon who he always chatted so happily about at work. Charles was a good man, and a manager who often went the extra distance to make his staff happy whenever he could. I will never forget how he used to always bring us donuts or bagels on Fridays, and he even fought for us to get raises. No manager I've had since would ever do anything similar, and I'll always remember him for that. May he rest in peace and may God bless his family with comfort.

I am very sorry to hear of the passing of Charles. Though I only had the pleasure of knowing him a short while at the bank, in that period of time I found him to be very intelligent and extremely friendly. Making small talk with him was easy and he never had a bad word about anyone. It was a pleasure seeing him in the lobby of the bank in the morning. I know he will be missed by everyone who knew him.

I wanted to send a note of condolence to Charles' family and close friends, expressing sorrow and sympathy in your time of grief. I worked with Charles at Travel Agent Magazine for six years, and knew him to be a devoted and loving father to his daughters; he talked about them constantly, and it had always seemed to me that his life was totally organized around them. This is how he deserved to be remembered, and it is my hope that this memory will be a comfort to you in the days and months ahead.

Mae & family, so very sorry for your loss.our prayers are with you & family. Love Patty,Gynn,Krystle,Joey,Shannon,&Glynn M.

Mae & family, So very sorry for your loss.We're here whenever you need anything dear friend.May angels wrap their arms around you giving you strength & comfort. Love Austin,Marie & family

The Security Staff at IDBBANK would like to extend our condolences to the family of Charles Doherty. Charles was our friend and will be missed.

After just recently getting to know and talk to Charlie at IDB I was greatly impressed at how bright and pleasant a person he was. As I once lived in Howell, N.J. we talked about the area and how happy he was moving into his new apartment and of his commute to work. I didn't know him long but I feel we lost a great friend and gentleman. May God Bless!!

I'm glad we had the past few months to spend quality time with you, sometimes yelling at the TV watching football, laughing at anything and everything. Going out to dinner when you had tons of stories to tell, never a dull moment with Charlie. You always had a SMILE for everyone.

Billy and I were so happy you came back to NJ. We both enjoyed helping you with your apartment. We know how much you loved it there (in your "wee house").

Thank God we were able to spend Thanksgiving and Christmas with you. Who knew it would be the last. But we did have fun and lots of laughs to share during those times together.

You seemed so happy since returning to NJ, you deserved many more days here to light up our lives. You were a wonderful, loving person. Your love and friendship will be cherished forever. I'll always remember your smiling face. I'm sure your brightening up heaven already. I'll miss you and your crazy phone calls to your brother. You'll always be in my prayers. May you rest in peace.

Love you. Marie

Charlie,

I always remember sharing a bedroom with bunk beds with you and how I used to reach down from the top bunk and pull your hair. You used to push your feet up under my mattress and toss me around. As we grew into grown men, our bickering continued and we would hang up the phone on each other on a daily basis. I will truly miss this.

I will always remember when you moved back to New Jersey from Long Island. Helping you move, fixing up the apartment for you, and getting you settled were things I really looked forward to.

On Saturdays, we watched Malcolm and the Freehold Boro football team rise to the state championship. After their wins, we celebrated by going out for pizza and beer. It was fun and we shared many laughs.

When you moved back to New Jersey, we were all happy that we had our brother back, and Mom was very happy as well. We were able to spend more time with you and bond with you as we had in the past. I am very grateful that we got to spend so much time together.

I will always have you in my thoughts and in my heart. Rest in peace, my brother. I will miss you.

Love,

Billy

Over the years seeing uncle Charlie was a difficult task with everyone's hectic lifestyle and with him living out on L.I. But over the last year my family and I were blessed with getting to see/know him again as he was now living closer and hanging with my dad more often. Charlie was always fun loving and it was hilarious to watch him and my dad fight like teenage boys almost every time they were together. We really enjoyed having him come to almost all of Malcolm's football games to watch and cheer on Freehold Boro,it was an amazing ride that I am so glad he was a part of and will remember always!!!! It won't be the same next year without him there but I know he will be there in spirit.Charlie it seems so unfair that you have left us while we were just getting to know you again.I will cherish the time that we got to spend with you and while you may now be gone you will always be loved and never be forgotten!!!

Love,

Rich,Toni,Malcolm and Aiden

I have loved you since I was a little girl and you were a new born baby. We grew up to teenagers, young adults and always thought we would grow old together. I will miss your loud singing on Sunday morning when all my guests would be sleeping and you would barrel through the front door singing loudly with a huge bag of bagels in your arms. I used to get mad and tell you to be quit, but I would give anything now to hear your robust vocals. We had some really great times recently, going on the boat, family gatherings on the deck and almost every other weekend for dinner. Through all the years, you called me almost daily and I will cherish all the ending with I love you and I love you too Charlie. I feel like this is a dream and I will wake up tomorrow to you pulling up in the car or the telephone ringing and you will be at the other end, but I know this can never be.

I will love you forever little brother.....Maureen.

I am so sorry for your loss. He will be missed by his co-workers at IDB Bank.

Our deepest condolences to the Doherty family, especially Shannon, Gini and Lisa. We've been neighbors and watched the girls grow up since they were babies... We have memories of seeing Charles grilling, doing yardwork, puttering outside and in the garage. Steve remembers having great discussions of world events, politics and travelling. Charles was a good dad, and will be missed. All our love, Lilly and Steve Keddell

So sorry to hear of Charles passing. We were friends all through grade school and high school. He was a great guy and a talented artist. May he rest in peace.

May God bring peace to you all! My deepest condolences to Charlie's family. He will be greatly missed at IDB Bank of New York. All my best, Jeannie Burgos

I was very sad to learn of Charles' passing. I saw and spoke to Charles everyday as we worked in the same building in Manhattan. A great guy with an engaging personality and a hearty laugh is how I will remember him. I will miss you Charles.

Charles and I worked together at Travel Agent magazine for five years, through many trials and tribulations. I'm stunned and deeply saddened to learn of his passing... he was a good man, a loyal colleague and friend, and I send my warmest wishes for comfort and condolence to all his family and friends. - Peggy Cope

Our deepest and most heartfelt condolences to Charlie's family. Charlie, you will be greatly missed. Bruce and Debbie Schoengood

I am deeply sorry for your loss. May your family find comfort in all the wonderful memories. With sympathy, Sandra Morales

My deepest condolences to the Doherty family. Charles took a chance on hiring me when I had no formal training in Graphic Design but he must have seen something in me that was worth bringing me aboard his team. I thank him for that because I learned a great deal about graphic design and publishing. May you rest in peace and may God bring comfort to your family.

When I think of Uncle Charlie I think of hilarious antics and impressions. He filled our lives with his crazy voices and boisterous laughter, sometimes driving those closest to him mad. He loved his family and was ready at the drop of a hat to support and standby when times were hardest. He joyfully gathered in family parties/picnics to throw the horseshoes and share stories of who, what, where, when and how. He was a Jersey -boy turned New Yorker and was on his way to making the transformation back home. He will live on in the memories we share and hold dear to our hearts. He would want us to carry on and celebrate his memory with smiles and laughter. I bid you farewell on your journey Uncle Charlie and will welcome your spirit into my heart as it sees fit so that you will always be a part of me!!!!! I love you and miss you, but will always be able to hear you for the laughter you left behind rings so loudly in my ears.

We are deeply saddened to hear of Charlie's passing. He was a wonderful man - with an amazing love of lfe and an exurberant personality. We were blessed to have him as our cousin.

Charles, I just wanted to let everyone know how sorry I am to hear the news. I just spoke to your sister and told her what a great friend and family man you were and hope everyone realizes what a class act you were. I'll see you in heaven one day my brother. Peace. DJ

My deepest condolences to the Doherty Family. Life will never be the same for those left behind. May your happy memories help to bring you comfort during this time of grief. With sympathy - Janet Stegiel

We were honored to call you our brother-in-law and best man at our wedding. We will always cherish our memories of the good times we shared down at Stone Harbor. May your good hearted spirit live on through your girls. We will watch over them for you always! May you rest in peace Charlie. With much love, Joe, Mary, Joey, Jonathan and Jamie Honden. xoxoxo

Charles Patrick Doherty was an incredible father. Although Gini and I took him for granted we loved spending every minute we could with him whenever we visited him. I will always remember all the memories we shared going out to eat, seaside heights every summer, going to the mall in the snow storm and so much more. He always did everything to make us happy. You could never get angry with him because he was always making jokes and looking at the bright side of things. Dad, you will always have a special place in my heart.

love always,

Shannon<3

Dear Dad,

I just wanted to let you know how much I loved you. Ever since I was younger we had such a close bond. I remember when I was younger, you would take me into your job on the weekend and I would play on the computer and I loved just spending time with you. I also remember all the times we've shared together through my swimming. Remember when we went up to Poughkeepsie and when we went to Buffalo. We would always go out to dinner whether I lost or won and have such a fun time. I loved when you watched me swim and was always so proud of me. I also remember all the fun times our family had going on cruises together. You were so much fun to be around. You were always such a good-hearted man with a wonderful soul. You would do practically anything for me. Our trips to New Jersey are where we were the closest. I know how much you loved New Jersey. I remember all the times you would take us to Seaside or when you took us to the beach. When we went on the boardwalk you were always so good at that frog game. You would win stuffed animals like no other. I loved when you took us to Nana's, Uncle Billy's and Aunt Maureen's House. We would always have so much fun when we went out on Ed's Boat or just eating dinner and laughing at all the jokes you would tell. Another thing you did was to teach me how to ride my bicycle without training wheels and to drive my first car. After you and mom got the divorce I became depressed because I missed you so much and it was hard for us to be together. But I felt it also brought us even closer. We would always call each other on the phone and tell each other how our day was going and what we had planned. I loved you soo much! You were the closest person to my heart and I can't believe you left. I hope you are having so much fun in heaven! I can't wait to see you when I get there! You taught me so many things and that will never be forgot. Words can't describe what a wonderful father you were. Sometimes I felt I would take having you in my life for granted. I will still always talk to you every day and you will always be in my heart and I cant wait to see you when I get there. You better be waiting for me! Rest in Peace!

Love,

Gini
