Thomas G. Doherty
Thomas G. Doherty passed away on the morning of August 7, after a decades long battle with
Parkinson’s Disease, at the age of 71. He grew up in Dorchester, lived in Sharon, and was a long-time resident of Woodside Drive in East Falmouth.
Thom was born on October 25th, 1951, to Bernard and Margaret Doherty and was one of five siblings. Thom was a graduate of Hyde Park High School, and Bentley University with a Bachelor of Science in Accounting. Thom had a keen eye for finances and served as controller to the Archdiocese of Boston, Senior Accountant at Thayer Academy, and later in life served as the accountant for the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe.
Thom was an avid runner of half marathons and the Falmouth Road Race. He spent many years as a football official in the MIAA High School League, as well as refereeing college football. He loved Boston sports and was able to recall obscure facts and statistics.
He is survived by his loving sister, Margaret Buckley of Plymouth, Ma, brother and sister-in-law, Denis and Cathy Doherty of Foxboro, Ma, nieces: Meaghan Doherty, Meredith Weaver, and Holly Johnson, nephews: Greggory Weaver, and Bob Weaver, as well as great nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents, sister Patricia Weaver and brothers-in-law: Bob Weaver, and Danny Buckley.
The family would like to thank the Village at Willow Crossing’s Staff for all its support and care of Thom and our family during this time. Additionally, in lieu of flowers please make a donation to Old Colony Hospice Care 321 Manley Street, W. Bridgewater, MA 02379. Their guidance and continual care during this time was immeasurable.

May you Rest In Peace Thom. Your final battle was long and difficult I’m sure. You have certainly earned your reward in Heaven. Safe home to God.
My heartfelt condolences on your loss. May your memories of Thom, and the love of those around you, comfort and give you strength during this difficult time. Your family is in my thoughts.
Great picture of a happy Thom. Good sport and dedicated to doing the right thing in his line of work.
Your marathon is over, but we will miss hearing from the “Cape Weatherman”.
RIP buddy.
Denis and family, we are heartbroken about Thom and will miss him dearly here at Willow Crossings! Please know that he is in our thoughts and prayers. He’ll always be a part of our family and we hope you will feel welcome to visit. God bless and keep him.
So sorry Margaret Ann. I’ve been trying to get in touch with you- calling on phone. Googled Tommy’s name and ran across this , his obituary. I had no way of knowing as I’m not in touch with the family nor was I aware of Danny’s death. The last time we spoke you and Danny were both candidates for back surgery. I can’t imagine the pain you’re going through. I’ll keep you in my prayers. Would love to hear from the when you feel you can. Love you so much. Your cousin, Margie
Dear Margaret Ann so sorry to hear of Tommy’s passing. I always enjoyed talking with him at family get togethers years ago. Also just heard of Danny’s passing. So very sorry for your loss and will remember Danny and you in my prayers.
