Ray Harrington was my Pop Warner football coach in 1976. He was a great guy. His son Ray was my age and his daughter Gigi was a cheerleader for our team. Time is a vapor.

Dad,
Not a day goes by without me thinking of you. I wish we had more time to spend together. I want to thank you for making me the man I am today. I could not have asked for a better father. You are my hero, Dad. I will always love you.

Uncle Ray always knew how to make everyone smile and how to have a good time. Family was everything to him and I will always cherish that. Love you Uncle Ray! Rest in peace.

Hey Dad,

I have been thinking about you a lot lately. So much has changed since you moved on. Some good things that you missed and other funky things that I am glad you missed. Thank you Dad for allowing me to put love-real love-into action. I miss that. I hope to become better at it in my life.

Dad I will miss picking up the phone to ask you what the zip code is for a city that I'm mailing a letter to. I used to enjoy trying to stump you but you ALWAYS got it right without looking it up! Thanks for always being there to support my wild swimming endeavors these last few years. You were always so proud of being an Athletic Supporter. I still can't fathom not hearing you sing Happy Birthday on my birthday. I have so many fond memories and just hope that I can be half the supportive person you were. You taught me FAMILY IS EVERYTHING!

Ray, you were a passionate, determined man that made a difference in everything you touched. You will be missed. Let us all be more passionate in what we believe in. Rest in Piece!
