Jerry was born March 20, 1957 in Pembroke, Ontario to Jim and Carmel Harrington. Along with Jim and Carmel, remaining family includes his loving wife Mary; son Shaughn (Naomi Graham-Harrington); daughter Elizabeth (James Kennison), grandson Nathan, brother Michael Harrington (Pamela Smith Harrington), along with countless extended family.
Growing up alongside Algonquin Provincial Park, Jerry spent his summers working in the ‘bush’ and on the family’s farm,much as his father had. Upon completing High School he attended and graduated from Carleton University in Ottawa, Ontario. Jerry married his Ottawa Valley sweetheart, Mary (Gagnon) Harrington August 22, 1981. He welcomed his son, Shaughn and daughter, Elizabeth (“Ted”), into the world as a fiercely loving father. His passions beyond family extended to breeding award winning Golden Retrievers, prized not only as show dogs but as working dogs for the blind. A fervent long-distance cyclist and marathon runner, Jerry excelled at athletics throughout life including playing football at the collegiate level. Truly important to Jerry was further education, to the extent that he enjoyed his position as an adjunct professor at local Universities, as well as earning his Master of Health Administration with a focus in finance. Ardently loyal, loving and devoted as a husband, father, Papa and friend, Jerry bettered all around him and suffered no fools.
