Died on Thursday, March 29, 2018, in Lone Tree, CO. Mike was married to the late Anne M. Doherty (Rutecki), and was the proud father of two sons: Michael S. Doherty (Virginia) of Fairfax, VA, and Christopher Doherty (Gretchen) of Parker, CO. He was the loving grandfather of four grandchildren: Harrison and Sean Doherty (Michael) and Madelyn and Jack Doherty (Christopher). Mike was the brother of the late Edward Doherty and brother-in-law of Mary (Leonard) Boczkowski, and Janice Rutecki and William Rutecki. Mike served his country in the Navy and worked at Hertz Rent a Car for over 30 years. A resident of Greendale, WI, for 37 years, Mike was an avid Packers fan and Wisconsinite. He had a love of playing card games passed down from his mother, and he enjoyed passing that wisdom on to everyone who knew him. He also loved to travel, but found his greatest joy in his grandchildren, often taking them to the zoo, Disney, having sleepovers or just going to the playground.
