Just like he dealt with all experiences in life, Thomas E. Doherty managed his illness with strength, valor and grace and wanted to spend as much time with his loved ones as possible. Thomas passed away on December 15, 2021, at the age of 83 years old. On his final day, he was surrounded by his beloved wife of 50 years and his three daughters, who he adored more than anything else in this world. His legacy will live on the hearts and minds of everyone he interacted with. In 1957, he joined the U.S. Army and after his tour was complete, he went and earned his Architectural Degree at Wentworth Institute of Technology and Boston Architectural College. He spent many years working as an Architect and designed many commercial buildings located in Boston, including the Cambridge Court House, and the church where he married his wife. In 1973, he moved on from architecture and found the career that he loved as he joined the Revere Police Department, where he served the community with integrity and honor for thirty-five years. He firmly believed that people deserved a second chance or sometimes even a third and treated everyone he encountered with respect and understanding. He retired as a Sergeant from the Revere Police Department in 2003 and soon thereafter became a United States Marshal and began working at the John Joseph Moakley Courthouse in Boston. Thomas enjoyed life’s simple pleasures. He loved going out for a nice meal with his family, going to the movies, playing the lottery, reading books, watching Fox News and TV documentaries about history, boating at Wingaersheek Beach, coffee dates with his wife and dog Natasha, riding his lawn tractor, investing in the stock market, watching movies, swimming in the ocean and in his pool, diving, shooting at the range, traveling to Florida and Aruba, whiskey toasts with his son-in-law, Jarrod, and playing with his grandchildren who adored their Papa.
Thomas is survived by his beautiful wife Marilyn T. (Prizio) Doherty of Saugus. He is the loving & proud father of Andrea T. Doherty – Marino & husband Anthony L. of Lynnfield, Danielle M. Doherty – Wirwicz & husband Jarrod D. of Middleton & Evelyn T. Doherty – Terfry & husband Christopher M. of Lynnfield. Treasured papa of Angelina TD., Gianna D., Mason J., Thomas J. & John C. and his late Maltese Dog Natasha. Dear brother of Noel F. Doherty & wife Marcia of Woburn & the late James N. Doherty, Jr. & Sheila A. Tomkins. He is also lovingly survived by many nieces, nephews, grandnieces, grandnephews, friends, fellow Revere Police Officers & U.S. Marshal men & women.
