James Edward Harrington

James Edward Harrington sadly passed away on April 20th 2024, at his home in Goffstown, New Hampshire shortly after returning from a bucket list trip touring Ireland. Jim was born in Manchester, New Hampshire. He was the son of Richard and Patricia (Fosher) Harrington.

Jim worked in subcontracts and program management at BAE Systems, enjoying a nearly 39 year career there. He enjoyed spending time with his family. Jim was an avid believer and practitioner of the "Lake Life" mentality, holding a family cabin at Webster Lake dear to his heart. Jim was extremely active with the Southern New Hampshire Skating Club, and the biggest supporter and fan of his daughter's figure skating career. Jim was a dedicated coach and never once missed a game for any of his children, traveling all over the country to do so. He was a frequent and proud Syracuse University visitor and sports fanatic and would even sacrifice his own collegiate affiliations (as a 1985 University of New Hampshire graduate) to show his love and support for his daughters school.

Jim is survived by his wife Luella Donahoe, two children Michael and Madison, and his grandchildren Alexander and Ava.

His family remains in the area consisting of his siblings: Mark Harrington and Kathy Larivee, and his nieces and nephews: Amy and Jay Harrington (and his son Cameron Harrington),and Jon and Patricia Larivee (and her daughter Quinn Horn)
