The recent CBC movie about Don Cherry brought back memories of his younger brother Dick Cherry who actually had a longer NHL career:

Their career paths were somewhat similar - Boston sponsored junior and AHL, brief overlap 1957-58 in Springfield in the AHL followed by fairly long minor league careers before Dick managed two seasons with the expansion Philadelphia Flyers.
Do not recall any mention of Dick Cherry in the CBC production and Don also seems to be rather silent about his brother.
