Thomas Harrington Obituary

Thomas Jerome Harrington, 68, of LaFayette, passed away peacefully on Monday at Strong Memorial Hospital. Born in Manhattan, he moved to the Syracuse area where he was a graduate of Bishop Ludden High School. Thomas went on to establish himself as the esteemed owner of TJH Distributors, where his passion for his work and dedication to his craft shone brightly. However, he found his true joy in retirement, spending his days surrounded by beloved friends, family, and his faithful canine companions on the comfort of his porch.

Thomas was predeceased by his wife, Penelope; beloved dog, Maverick; parents, Jerome and Eleanor; and brother-in-law, Bruce Mott.

Surviving are his sons, Scott (Krysta) of Fairport and Gregory of Manchester, NH; beloved dogs, Charlie and Goose; brothers, William (Elaine), Dan (Patsy), and Michael (Susan); sisters, Nancy (Thomas) Koes and Mary Mott; and many nieces and nephews. 

To celebrate Thomas’s life, relatives and friends are invited to gather on Saturday, July 27, 2024, from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Buranich Funeral Home, 5431 W. Genesee St., Camillus. A funeral service will follow at the funeral home.

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the CNY SPCA, 5878 E. Molloy Rd., Mattydale, NY 13211.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
