In Loving Memory

Mr. Peter Michael Dougherty, passed away peacefully on Friday, April 12th, 2024, at Carpenter Hospice in his 84th year. Devoted husband of 57 years to Karen Marie Dougherty (Murphy). Loving father of Shane and Meagan. Proud GRANDPA “D” of Payton, Holden and Roewan. Peter will be deeply missed by his countless beloved 17 nieces and nephews and their families. He is predeceased by his parents John and Florence (nee Mullen), and his siblings Mary Edmonds (Bob), Fran Dougherty and John Dougherty (Elaine).

Special thank you & Love to Kirsten Dougherty, Aruna Singh, Yvonne Lucas, Joey Lynn Bialkowski-Peterson, The Halstead family, The Entire Murphy Family and multiple Great Friends (and there are many) for all of your unwavering support.

Peter was a life-long, ardent Buffalo Bills fan. He excelled in all his Simcoe High School athletic endeavours, and was even awarded Male Athlete of The Year. Long-time member at Burlington Golf & Country Club. His love for both playing and watching all kinds of sports also carried over to his relationship with his children and grandchildren. Peter was always there in the bleachers supporting them, no matter the sport. Still coaching from above in the best seat in the house and encouraging them to “Shoot for the Stars”.

Peter was an accountant & business man in Simcoe, Bermuda, London and finally Burlington. He founded Halton Printing & DRT Products where his customers became wonderful close friends.
