Robert Leroy Dougherty Jr.

March 14, 1950 — July 15, 2024

Robert “Bob” Leroy Dougherty, Jr., age 74, of Rostraver Twp., PA, died on Monday, July 15, 2024. He was born in Elizabeth, PA on March 14, 1950 and was the son of the late Robert Leroy, Sr. and Lois Jean McKown Dougherty. Bob was a dedicated volunteer for sporting events at Serra Catholic High School, and was very active in church support at St. Joseph’s in Port Vue and St. Angela’s in White Oak. His hobbies included running, biking, kayaking, and volunteering with the Mon/Yough Trail Council. He enjoyed several years of retirement in The Villages, FL before returning to Pittsburgh in 2020 to be with his family.
