In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by a son: Stephen John Harrington, who passed away November 28, 2001; and two brothers: Johnny and Clyde Harrington.

William will be lovingly remembered by his wife: Debra Harrington; daughters: Amy Shook (Todd), Erin Harrington (Dennis), and Cynthia Harrington; son: Paul Harrington, Jr. (Deb); brothers: Joe-Joe Harrington (Gloria) and Tommy Harrington (Marie); sister: Mazy Harrington; and seven grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.
