Time goes by sooo fast! I glad to know Mr. Albert Harrington lived such a full life!. What a great man that is our loss and Gods gain. Ill feel this loss because Mr Harrington , like many of my friends fathers were the protectors of my generation,, the living bearers of Dr. King and our other great leaders of our rich history.

My sympathies are with the Harrington family. Mr . Harrington was a wonderful father and grandfather who was loved by many. As his daughter's friend I was always amazed at his kind and gentle yet firm guidance he showed Lysa. It was always obvious how much he loved her and would light up upon her presence. All her friends felt part of this family and I am grateful to be here to support them as
Mr. Harrington takes his place as one of God's Angels in heaven.

Prayers to Harrington family and friends

July 21, 2016

We would like to extend our condolences to Albert's family and all who knew and lost this wonderful man. My husband and I had the privilege of caring for him for many many years and he will be truly missed. Al was smart, kind, sincere, and always a gentleman. He was a favorite at our practice and the entire staff always looked forward to seeing him. He handled his health challenges with grace and never complained. He always smiled no matter what was happening and he never failed to tell us that he appreciated the care he received. We know he must be the brightest of all of God's angels.
With much affection,
Leslie and Sanford Melmed

The loss of friend and Fraternity brother Albert saddens me and many others. Al was a steady faithful individual. To family (blood and fraternal), I pray the memories of the good and pleasant times will be a source of comfort as we cope with the loss of a loved one.
