John Doherty of
New Maryland NB sadly left us on January 3rd,
2023, at the age of 83. John was the son of the late John
“Jack” and Blanche (Hickey) Doherty and was born on October
29, 1939.
John spent his
childhood in Odell Park in Fredericton NB. He devoted 44
years to his career at Tractors & Equipment (CAT) where he
made many connections and lifelong friends. It is also where
he met his wife, Pauline. He built a house in New Maryland
for himself and his young bride where they spent 41 years together
until her passing in 2008.
John was
recognized by many in his community as he could be seen daily waiting
to meet his young Granddaughter’s bus to drop her off after
school. He continued the tradition of watching for and
waving to his Grandson driving by on the bus many years later.
Everyone will miss driving by his house and seeing
him sitting by the window in his living
room.
John will be
dearly missed by his children Pam (Mike) Vidito, Andrea (Troy
Rathbone), and Peter (Lynn MacKay). He was a proud
grandfather to Fallon, Grayson and Rowan. He is also
survived by his brother Patrick (Shirley), brother-in-law Paul
Nicholson, sister-in-law Artice “Bunny” (David) Jenkins, and
several nieces and nephews.
Along with his
parents and his wife, John was predeceased by his siblings Shirley,
Theodore “Ted”, James “Ned” and Evelyna,
sister-in-law Betty and brother-in-law
Lionel.
