Mary and all, Randy and I are so sad that we had to miss Blue's services and send-off yesterday (April 12, 2025). We're both a bit old and creaky now, but our memories of Blue (and you and Bob) will be strong for years, and so fun. I haven't known many legends but Blue was surely one in that community. One friend who did get there yesterday said it was the best memorial service he'd been to in many a year. That's appropriate for Blue. Our best to you and all--so many--who loved and respected him, including
Barbara and Randy Fitzgerald

Blue was a local hero and favorite person, his twinkling smile and friendly conversation was always a bright spot in your day. We will miss him so, thanks for the memories.

As a young boy in the 70's living a hundred yards from the station I have fond memories of walking up to get a coke out of Blue's old timey coke machine. Blue and Dave Stancil were always welcoming and spending time talking with a young man and what I was doing. A long standing member of the church I knew him well and know he was a good, hard working man always willing to help another out. Such a sad loss, but know he lived a full, loving and generous life, always helping others. Very sorry for your loss.

I'm just learning of the passing of Blue. Very sad to see this. I bowled in a league at Mountain Bowl many years ago with him and Joan......they were such a joy to be around. May he Rest in Peace. To his family, I send my deepest condolences

Blue seemed to never forget people. I moved away from Albemarle after service and came home often to visit family in Lindsay passing Cismont Gulf as we headed further north on Rte. 231. A honk and a wave back if Blue was outside. Blue was a friend to all and provided excellent service to the community and the Harrington family. Later on in life, a daughter learned through her Dad that I was in Florida and when here they stopped by for a very refreshing visit from home and from their Dad. Blue was the forever friend...he proved it with his life of service to others even after he closed Cismont "Guff". Blue leaves us a treasure chest of the most fond memories we will cherish through our daily lives and a "way to live your life fully".

Blue was a delight and an inspiration among the Retreads. When he was still pitching well and hitting for a high average in his 80´s he was the subject of comments like "you should have seen him play when he was 70." Not many can have that said about him!
He always had a smile on his face and made it clear at all times that he loved being alive.
