Known for his generosity, thoughtfulness, and intellect, John was especially generous with his time, knowledge, and resources, always willing to help individuals and businesses navigate challenges and pursue opportunities.
In 2000, John met Ida Baugh, and they married in Sausalito in 2005. They made their home together in Tiburon in 2007, where John lived for the remainder of his life.
John is survived by his wife, Ida Baugh of Tiburon; his son, Bradford Harrington of Milwaukee, Wisconsin; his daughter, Laurel Harrington of Mill Valley, California; his stepson, Christopher Baugh of Wellesley, Massachusetts; and his stepdaughter, Whitney Peters of Tiburon, California.
