It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Ed Doherty at the age of 77, peacefully at Mississauga Hospital following a brief illness.

Originally from Guelph, Ontario, and spending most of his life in Mississauga, Ed was content to work as an English and History teacher, at Michael Power High School, be with his family and study the works of Shakespeare. He will be greatly missed by his wife Mary, his children Sarah (Ryan), Joe, Caitlin (Mike), and his grandchildren, Eoin, Declan, Adrienne, Hannah and Asher, his sisters Donna (Jeff) Doherty Lozon, and Maureen (Hady) Doherty Lotfy, and all his nieces. He is predeceased by his parents Kathleen and Joseph Doherty and his brothers, Bill and Paul Doherty.

Ed was a character. He loved a good story, whether it was a bit of gossip or a well-timed complaint. He delighted in telling people that he retired at 56 and was really enjoying it. He loved the Blue Jays and reading Shakespeare. Buddy the dog was starting to grow on him too. His coffee club, including the late Bob Amaolo, made him very, very happy and we are so appreciative that he had those friends for so long.

There's no need to send flowers or donations. Maybe just pick a Shakespearean play and read it again and think of Ed. He'd like that.

Visitation will be held on Friday, September 6, 2024 from 7 - 9 p.m. at Turner & Porter Neweduk Chapel located at 1981 Dundas St. W. Mississauga.
