Michael J. Harrington

A wonderful family had a wonderful son and friend to me: ALWAYS welcoming, smiling, sharing, celebrating, laughing, supportive! I offer you all continued peace and prayers- his light is forever in my heart -Trish (Devan) Barrett

Cynthia we are very saddened to hear about your loss. It was always a pleasure to wait on your husband at our dry cleaners. He was a very kind and personable man.
