Baltimore — Long-time accessories industry veteran Ed Dougherty died on Feb. 11 from pneumonia and other lung complications.

He formerly held positions with Case Logic and Earhugger. Dougherty also held management positions at Capitol Records.
“When I write my book,” added Graham, “Ed gets one full chapter.”
He is survived by his son Thomas and daughter-in-law Map.
