Death

George Robert Doherty, retired from DuPont, passed away peacefully at home on Thursday, May 25, 2006, at age 77, surrounded by his loving family. Born in Wilmington on Oct. 12, 1928, Bob was the son of John and Anne Doherty. He attended St. Elizabeth's Grade School and was a graduate of Henry C. Conrad High School. A 35-year DuPont employee, he retired from the company's Experimental Station in 1985. As a young man, Bob was active in local Democratic Party politics and one of his prized possessions was a letter he received from then-Senator, John F. Kennedy, in June 1960 thanking him for his support in the presidential campaign. Bob was a long-time Delaware football season ticketholder and a passionate fan of Notre Dame football as well as the Eagles and Phillies. In his later years, he loved nothing more than to watch and root for his grandchildren as they played soccer, baseball and basketball, and rowed and swam competitively. He is survived by his loving wife of 55 years, Florence Grodzicki Doherty; two brothers, Jack and his wife, Sandra, of Norfolk, Va. and Bill and his wife, Janice, of Rehoboth Beach; a sister, Mary Kooser and her husband, Bill, of Wilmington; a daughter, Kathleen Turkel and her husband, Gerald, of Newark; a son, Robert, and his wife, Carol, of Potomac, Md.; five grandchildren, Eli and Helen Turkel and Ryan, Kevin and Caitlin Doherty; and numerous nieces and nephews.
