It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Robert M. Dougherty of Massapequa, New York on November 26, 2024 at 69 years of age. Bob is survived by his wife of 44 years, Eileen; his daughter Devon; his new son-in-law Joe; and numerous loving family members and friends.

Bob lived life to the fullest, but unfortunately that life was too short. He was a devoted husband and one-of-a-kind Dad. Whether watching his little girl dance, or inspiring her inquisitive mind, he always encouraged her to chase her dreams. He was a man of unbelievable strength, perseverance, and kindness.

Bob, or Doc to his friends and coworkers, lived a life full of adventure. Whether it was on a racquetball court, a soccer field, a golf course, or a ski slope, he was always ready to share his expertise. His knowledge of sports and trivia entertained all who would listen, especially his daughter.

He loved to travel, and while his journeys took him around the world, one of his favorite destinations was Disney World. His countless number of visits gave him so many cherished memories.

The world just won’t be the same without him in it.

If you are considering a donation, the family requests a contribution to the National Park Foundation in memory of Bob and his love of the outdoors. This foundation is the official charity of America’s National Parks, helping to preserve these precious spaces for future generations.

May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. And, until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Jay Caruso left a message on December 2, 2024:
We had the pleasure of being in Bob's company on a few occasions over the years; he was always very warm and gracious. It was easy too see how smart and capable and considerate he was. In our 40-years of dear friendship with his younger brother Barry, Bob's name would come up often, as would Eileen and Devon, and more and more Joe. We felt like we knew him and his circle of love. We know his presence will be missed sorely by all who stood near his glow. We pray that all the sad hearts he leaves in his wake will find comfort and peace in all the many sweet memories. Jay & Iyna Caruso

Bob was special in so many ways. He had a quiet demeanor and was a good listener and a great friend. I cherish the memories of good times spent over many decades with him and Eileen. ❤️ It saddens me deeply to know that Bob is gone from our world. I send a message of peace and love as he enters his Eternal Rest, and offer my heartfelt condolences to all who knew and loved him. May we take comfort from the words of Psalm 46: “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea.”
