Joseph Wilson Daugherty entered Syracuse University in 1937, a promising career in football ahead of him. An injury during spring practice of his freshman year put an end to his dream. Undaunted, he went on to a lifetime enjoyment of sports, attaining top amateur golf status.
Mr. Daugherty died April 17.
He is the brother of Jean, community affairs director of WTVH-TV (Channel 5); and the !ate Duffy, who played and coached at Syracuse University before becoming head coach at Michigan State; and Jack, a coach and faculty member at Indiana University. He was 79 and lived in Waynesboro, Va.
Mr. Daugherty was born in Emeigh. Pa., the son of Joseph Aloysius. a high school coach and referee, and Elizabeth Wilson Daugherty. He grew up in Barnesboro, Pa., and graduated from Barnesboro High School before entering SU on a football scholarship. After his injury, the university continued to honor his scholarship.
"When I was born they weren't terribly enthusiastic," Jean Daugherty said of her brothers. "The neighbors said they got a kid and they got a girl. They were really wonderful. When they came here (SU) they decided I should come too because the communications school was so good."
After graduating in 1941, Mr. Daugherty joined the Army Air Corps, serving as a navigator with the 351st Bomber Group of the 8th Air Force. A second lieutenant, he spent 24 months as a prisoner of war in Germany at Stalag Luft III and Stalag VII-A. After the war, he joined Wayne Manufacturing Corp. in Waynesboro, retiring as vice president and general manager in charge of production.
He played golf more than 60 years and was a charter member of the Waynesboro Country Club, where his best round was a four under par 68 on his way to a club championship. Mr. Daugherty had five holes in-one during his golfing career, one of which was at Gleneagles in Scotland.
Mr. Daugherty remained close to Syracuse University all of his life. He met his wife, the former Dorothy Kellogg, in Syracuse. She had graduated from Iowa State University and was working her first job: a dietitian at the former Memorial Hospital. Joe, as he was known, worked at the hospital cafeteria for his meals. She recalled the first Easter after their meeting he presented her with a florists' box which contained a packet of seeds, all he could afford.
Mr. Daugherty's mother, Elizabeth, was named "The Matriarch of Syracuse University Football" by former SU Coach Richard MacPherson shortly before her death at 99 in 1989. Syracuse University football was 100 years old that year.
"He never met a stranger," Jean Daugherty said of her brother. "Everybody was somebody he cared abouL"
Besides his wife of 51 years and sister, Mr. Daugherty is survived by a son, Douglas Patrick of State College, Pa.; a daughter, Janet Elizabeth Drysdale of Richmond, Va.; four grandchildren; two greatgrandchildren; a niece and nephew.
Memorial services were April 20 in Waynesboro. Private burial will be at North Barnesboro Cemetery. Contributions may be made to the Window Restoration Fund, St. Benedict Presbyterian Church, which his grandparents helped build and were the first couple to marry in its sanctuary. The address is P.O. Box 142. St. Benedict, Pa. 15773.
