Johnny Lee Harrington, affectionately known as “Pip,” was born on January 16, 1962. Pip was more than just a man—he was a hero. With no regrets, he served our country and his family with honor and decency. He was well known throughout the community as the man who could do just about anything, from home repairs to small-engine maintenance. Pip will be deeply missed, but the love, laughter, and memories he shared will remain forever in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. Pip loved his family and friends deeply. He had a passion for working outdoors, whether he was cutting lawns, roofing, or simply doing whatever he could to help someone else. Most of all, anyone who knew Pip knew how much he loved his scratch-off tickets.
