James Daugherty, age 89, of Painesville, passed away Thursday, April 22, 2021 at Ohman Family Living at Briar in Middlefield. He was born November 10, 1931 in Bergholz, Ohio to Hazel (Wagner) and Frank Daugherty.
James attended Harvey High School in Painesville. He had a strong work ethic and retired as a truck driver from Ashland Chemical. James loved Bluegrass and Gospel music and played the harmonica with different groups throughout the years, and entertained the folks at the Fairport Senior Center. James was a jokester and never called you by your real name…it was Gladys and Clem, or maybe Cletus and Geraldine! James was a faithful man and attended Painesville Assembly of God.
He is survived by his daughters, Katie Daugherty-Miller, Mona Dunlap-Muzzio; grandchildren, Jaynie, Joshua, Mandee, Kevin, Scott, Todd, Wendy; 16 great-grandchildren; many nieces, and nephews. He also leaves behind dear friend and companion, Sue West.
James was preceded in death by his wife, Beatrice “Bea”; parents; son-in-law, Robert Muzzio; brothers, Fred Daugherty, Frank Daugherty; sister, Betty Jackson.
The Behm Family Funeral Home of Madison is assisting the family at this time of need.

My Dad was not only a great dad, but a fantastic grandfather. Any kid who was in his life will have wonderful memories of him because he was the biggest kid of all. I will miss him forever, but take comfort in the fact that he's together with Mom now. Love always from your little girl.

Uncle Jim left a lasting impression on all of us. He was quick to share a smile and make others smile. Here are some old photos from our family photo collection. Jim, Frank & Fred will now forever be the "Squeak Brothers". Note the Army picture with friends - the date is May 10, 1946 - Jim was 14. Much love, Beth (Daugherty) Reifsnyder
