So many fond memories of Dan for me, both in the Accounting Dept. and in the Law Dept. Bought me my first rotisserie chicken at a 7/11 one night after closing out an Accounting party, and shared some life values with this 22-year-old never forgotten. Pitched a softball with backspin, for which I was grateful (as shortstop). Pioneered national financial landmarks for the Clinic. A gentle executive, a thoughtful teacher, and a leader's leader. Was a privilege to serve you in Finance, Law, and friendship. Be at peace, Dan.

Danny and I go way, way, way back, starting at St. Aloysius where we were altar boys and on the football team to The Cleveland Clinic where we both served as Administrative Staff for well over two decades. A great colleague, gentleman and friend. A life well lived.

My deepest sympathies to his family and countess friends.

Danny was a great buddy and tough St. Al's football player. He and my wife, Anne, attended grade school together at St. Al's. He and I (and many of the St. Al's gang) went to JCU at the same time. Friday nights at McGarry's on East 185th were great fun. I never met Danny that he didn't have a smile and a clap on the back and some dough for a growler or two. A classy gentleman in every. A true "Man For Others". Onward on, Danny.

Dan was part of the leadership team that hired me at CCF many years ago. And, I'm only one of the thousands of people Dan helped along the way by being a great manager, leader and colleague.
Condolences to the extended Harrington family. R.I.P. Dan.

I was Dan´s secretary at the Clinic for 9 years, starting 1981. Dan was one of the kindest and best person I have had the privilege to know. I know he will be deeply missed. My sincere condolences to his family.

I worked with Dan at the Saint Luke´s Foundation while I was on their Board. Dan was a true gentleman in all respects and wise and thoughtful in his work and advice to us. So sorry to learn of his passing.
