Mr. Barrington, son of the late Carl Calvin Barrington and Nettie Lee Barrington was born January 27, 1924, in Columbus, Georgia. Mr. Barrington met the love of his life Carolyn Anne in Columbus, Georgia over sixty years ago and they were married for fifty three years. He was a member of the Army in which he served his county in World War II. Afterwards he enlisted in the National Guard and served twenty years before retiring. Mr. Barrington was an active member of the St. Luke United Methodist Church. In a simple way of putting it, he was a collector of cool things. He was a lover of anything with a motor, from running go karts with his children to being a member for many years in an antique car club. Some of his other hobbies in life were photography and golf. His most outstanding quality was just being a great person whether it be as a dad, granddad, or great-granddad.
Along with his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife, and a brother Jimmy Barrington. Mr. Barrington is survived by: his three sons, William Daniel Barrington Jr., Calvin Mark Barrington (Beverly), and Steve Michael Barrington (Christy); one grandchild, Steven Michael Barrington Jr.; great-grandchildren, Penny Elizabeth Anne Barrington and Vivian Leigh Barrington, and a brother, Carl Richard Barrington.
