Not sure what to say?

My sympathies to all the family on your loss. Ted was a wonderful judge, a kind and open hearted man and an excellent listener. He always had a ready smile. I was on the Bankruptcy court when he was on the US District Court. Sometimes appeals from my rulings went to him; his decisions were consistently thorough and fair. He will be missed,

To the families- I very sorry for your loss. I worked with Mr Harrington in the US Attorneys office and Federal Court in Boston and retired 2004. Always a kind and wonderful man. Rest in peace.

To the Harrington family, I am very sorry for your loss. My late father worked for Judge Harrington as a prosecutor when he was US Attorney. My father always spoke highly of Judge Harrington and they had a shared love of Holy Cross. I was blessed to meet Judge Harrington when he received an award at Holy Cross a few years ago. I will keep you in my prayers. Paul Healy

Knowing Ted Harrington has made my life fuller. A great Catholic man who always had a smile and a kind word. It was my fortune to have known him as a friend. Tom Carstens HC'55

Dear Harrington Family, Your dad was a great guy. He hired my late husband, Tom Drinan, into the US Attorney´s Office and Tom both excelled and loved his job there. He/we have always had very fond memories of `Ted´ and I am sorry to hear that he has left us. A very special guy. Diane Drinan

...flights of angels, Ted.

My phone calls with Ted were always appreciated, whether it was sharing a story about his good pal, Paul, my Dad, or getting advice when I could no longer ask my father. On behalf of Claire Markham and Family, our deepest condolences to the entire Harrington Family. Rest in Peace, kind sir.
