Greg,
My thoughts are with you and your family. I only met your Dad a time or two, but the stories are legendary. Guy Green said it perfectly, The Apple didn't fall far from the tree. Please accept my apology, as I will not be able to reciprocate your efforts, by attending Sunday or Monday. Godspeed Geno.

Greg: So sorry to learn of your father's passing. Only met him once (at the 1991 World Series), but I remember hearing his radio broadcasts. My deepest sympathies to you and your family.

If a nicer, friendlier or more optimistic fellow than Gene Harrington ever roamed the earth, I certainly haven't run across him. All of us who love his son, Greg, and are expecting great things from his grandson, Matthew, are keenly aware that the Harrington apples don't fall too far from the tree. I am blessed to count them as most cherished friends. I pray their sadness will melt in the warmth of his memory. Geno was as good as they come.

With deepest respect,
Guy Green
