The Shoe will be with us always, for he will forever be in our hearts, and we, his friends, will take him with us, where ever we go.
He is not really gone, and he will never be forgotten.

Jimmy THE SHOE was my friend first and the greatest teacher I ever had. I will miss him dearly because, he was THE BEST that ever did it in sportsman racing! Those that learned from him, the list is endless! He taught us all his tricks and always had a new one.

YOU WILL BE MISSED DEARLY SHOE!!!!!!!!!

Re: Jim "The Shoe" Harrington
 

R.I.P. Jim. You will be missed.

Re: Jim "The Shoe" Harrington
 

Such sad news that I'm sure none of us wanted to hear. I will miss Jim riding around on his golf cart as it lists to one side, smiling and waving at everyone as he zooms past on some great mission in the pits.
Tracey My thoughts are with you and all the family.

Re: Jim "The Shoe" Harrington
 

From the whole Northrop family, RIP Jim. We send our condolences to Tracey and the family.

Just like everyone reading this, he made everyone smile around him. He was a huge help to me when I started racing and he always was “Happy” to see me succeed. He did that for everyone, because that’s how he was, an all around great guy. The story’s and memories I have of him are nothing but fun times. I know everyone feels that way. C-Ya down the road Big Guy…… we all will miss you

Sincerely
Dan Northrop

Re: Jim "The Shoe" Harrington
 

RIP Jim. It was an honor to race with and against you. Condolences to Tracey and family.

Re: Jim "The Shoe" Harrington
 

RIP SHOE Wendy and I were talking this morning and came to the conclusion that if you ever met Jimmy and Tracey you became part of a story. He helped us out whether it was racing or just life a true embassador to the sport and in life. You will be missed thank you for everything .
Love Ronnie and Wendy

Re: Jim "The Shoe" Harrington
 

Such a sad day. "Harry" always offered such words of encouragement about my driving and life in general...I will truely miss that. Although I didn't get to know him well until the last couple of years I consider him a very good friend and hate that our friendship has been cut short. RIP my friend. Our prayers are w/ you Tracey.

Re: Jim "The Shoe" Harrington
 

Jim was one of the "Real" personalities in Sportsman racing. He was just great to be around at any time. I first met him at the Moroso 5 day back in the 80's, after racing him over the years it didn't really matter if you won or not, you knew you could have some laughs with him afterwards. One night in the pits at Bristol in 06, it was raining and we had about 20 people under the awnings having a few, Jim was "on" , telling stories and making us all laugh so hard.... just one of many great memories.

Rest in Peace, Jim, you will be missed.

Re: Jim "The Shoe" Harrington
 

My God I am speechless!

God bless the Harrington family from the entire Hedenburg family.

John, Elena, Johnny and Nicholas.

Re: Jim "The Shoe" Harrington
 

Our hearts are very heavy today. We were most fortunate to be able to have known The Shoe and his wife. He always carried a joke and a big heart wherever he went. He will be greatly missed by everyone. R.I.P. "Big Jim" and God Bless...
To share a small memory, i was at Atco bar and a little over the top and told Jim that i was afraid i couldn't get back to the motorhome and he assured me that If I fell down, he would carry me to the motorhome......so now, god gets to carry him to heaven and the memories will live on.....
