Our good friend, Waldo Waldo R. Harrington, age 76, of Stone Mountain died this week October 2, 2010, from complications of cancer.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Waldo R. Harrington and Stella Nunez and sister, Goldie Meaux. He is survived by his beautiful wife, Janice Harrington, daughters, Angela Ingram and Dawn Glaze, sons, Lance Harrington, Kelly Harrington & Kent Harrington, brothers, Roland Harrington & Dayton Harrington and 6 grandchildren.
Waldo grew up in Cow Island, LA, the son of a wealthy farmer. His father purchased a Piper cub so Waldo could learn to fly. After serving a stint as a pilot in the US air Force, Waldo returned to Cow Island to work on his father's farm where he flew crop dusters.
Waldo had a stellar career flying for Eastern Airlines in Atlanta; he earned the rank of Captain and flew domestic and international flights.
Tall, thin, Hollywood handsome, Waldo had grey hair and mustache, walked with purpose and a little swagger, and entertained everyone he knew with stories and exaggerations about Louisiana.
A phenomenal dancer, Waldo was constantly tagged by female friends who loved to dance as we do in Louisiana.
Bon voyage, Waldo et bonne chance. Puissiez-vous trouver un ange jolie Cajun à danser avec.
