Paul Harrington

Paul was a life long resident of the Tri Town area where he graduated from Valley Regional High School in 1971. He was a longtime member of Essex Veterans Memorial Hall where years ago he could be found bartending on weekends. Recent years, he enjoyed going to Friday lunches with his 3 Best Buddies Grit, Big Dope & Hammer.

Paul made a point to “record” his UConn girls basketball, NY Yankees, and NY Giants in case he couldn’t be home in time to watch them.

Paul played 2nd base in Baseball for Valley Regional, softball for the Essex/Deep River League and was always ready for a pick-up game of hockey with his buddies.

Paul was preceded in death by his Father Earl Harrington, his Mother Louva “Dee Dee” [ Peterson} Harrington, and his longtime partner for more than 20 years Linda Clark.

Paul is survived by his Daughter Alyssa Harrington Loiler {Kevin} 2 Grandchildren Jackson & Daisy, Sister Lynne Harrington Wheeler {Heath} Niece Jaime Oliver and Nephew Ryan Wheeler and Gary and Kim Clark.
