Obituary for Robert Charles Harrington
Robert Charles Harrington of Sand Springs Road Williamstown, MA passed quietly on July 13, 2021 at his family home under the care of Hospice Care in the Berkshires, with his primary care-giver, his youngest sister Diane, at his side. The family would like to thank Debra Delisle of North Adams, Megan Middlebrook and Kristy Meczywor of Adams for the respite time they provided.
Mr. Harrington, who went by Bob or Bobby, was born June 13, 1950 to George Elmer Harrington and Isabelle Beulah Estes Harrington. He leaves his sister Sandra M. Steuer of Laramie, WY and his niece Kristie Jeanne Dixon and husband William Woodrow, also of Laramie, WY as well as Diane H. George and husband Douglas of New Ashford, MA and his nephews Douglas C. George Jr. wife Sarah and son Alexander of Trumbull, CT and Andrew B. George wife of Alison and sons Harrington and Gabriel of Raleigh, NC. A cousin Harold Weyers of Williamstown and several other cousins.
Bobby was an avid sports fan who attended as many local games as possible while loudly supporting his team. When not physically able to attend games, he was rooting for his teams at home.
Bobby held different jobs over the years: custodian and ground keeper for Mount Greylock Regional High School, and shipping and receiving clerk at both Steinerfilm and Broode Borthers. In his younger years he was a coach and occasional umpire for Empire Little League.
Bobby graduated from Mount Greylock Regional High School in 1968. He attended North Adams State College with a focus on early childhood education.
There are no calling hours and burial will be July 16, 2021 at 1:00 PM at Southview Cemetery for relatives only.
If considering donations, the family encourages Hospice Care in the Berkshires as the preferred entity to receive donations in his name. To add to the Book of Memories, please visit www.flynndagnolifuneralhomes.com.
