Gone way too soon my friend. Your brothers wont know what to do without you. Your daughters will think of you everyday. I have always remembered our time together as some of my best times , during our childhood an as adults, but the memories I will always have just not enough. You had so many friends, your soul was kind an full. You were the cream of the crop. Tap me on the shoulder sometime will ya. Heart you

Lisa, I'm shocked to hear of your fathers passing , as neighbors we'd all have great fun as kids, who knew one day he'd ask me to marry him some 30 yrs later, but as we know it didn't happen. We as a little family had some very fun times. I still have the picture of you an April posing at Ocean City as Barmaids. Our time at the Airport Midget Race track was such a blast always. I moved to North Carolina in 2008 I'm so happy here. I hope you're doing well.

So very sorry for you family loss.

So sorry to hear of Willie's passing. My deepest sympathy to John, Robin & the Harrington Family.

I guess it's natural that eventually everyone needs to prepare themselves for the passing of their parents but when it comes time... you never are! I wish we all could go through life without the pain of losing a loved one, but I guess God had plans and needed you more. It's so hard to say goodbye to you Daddy but at the same time I'm so grateful that you didn't lie there in agony any longer. So even though it's hard to say goodbye, I will be so happy to say HELLO again to you later. I love you Daddy. Love Always and Forever your daughter Lisa ❤️

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
