Robert Leonard Harrington

Pastor Harrington was born 20 years before my dad was born and died 23 years after my dad died. I know he would have wanted thi express condolences to the family.

If I remember correctly he had a CHecker automobile and a sign on its sign announcing the Chaplain of Bourbon St. What a nice...

Mitizi, I'm so sorry for your loss. I always enjoyed hearing your Dad's messages. My prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.

Rhonda & Mitzi, I am so sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. Bro. Bob was a one of a kind larger than life man of God. I have thought and spoken of him often, because he was just unforgettable. I sang in his ministry when I was in high school and a few revivals afterwards, when he preached on the Prichard radio station in the afternoons and on Sunday mornings at the drive in theatre in Chickasaw. Those were exciting times when he was first beginning his ministry. I have seen him several...

I remember first seeing him on the Donahue Show with Madalyn Murray O'Hair. He was even portrayed in the movie about her with Peter Fonda playing him. May he rest in peace.
