I hated to hear that Orlie had passed away. I always had fond memories of Orlie and Raydon, along with my brother Rick and Harley Anderson racing our bicycles on the gravel road there by the Shady Grove store, where they lived, late at night without a worry of any cars coming along, just having a ball. Then there were the times we just sat and listened to them play music and on different instruments until it was time for all of us to get to our own homes. Those were the days I miss those days and the people we shared our time with, just good clean fun. However, I find comfort in knowing that once again, we will meet together for eternity, singing and playing instruments and having the time of our lives once again. I forgot to mention Obta, I am so sorry that you are losing your brothers and sisters but they are waiting at the feet of Jesus. You are the last of the Harrington family that I knew. What a great family you grew up with!! God Bless .

I an so sorry for the loss of Orlie. He was loved by so many, especially Pauline and his children. Raydon thought so much of his big brother and always looked forward to him and the family coming to Arkansas every summer. We all loaded up and headed for the Buffalo River. We all had such a good time. I now it is hard giving him up, but you have so many memories of him. Love you all and I am praying that there's comfort in knowing that I care.
