John Sebree Farrington

John Sebree Farrington of Huntsville died Thursday (12/14). Born in Springfield, Missouri, Jack grew up in Belleville, Ill., a suburb of St. Louis. As a child he attended a musical conservatory in St. Louis, where he studied piano and discovered the felicities of jazz, fostering a lifelong interest in playing the piano. He attended West Point Military Academy, graduating in 1955, and began a twenty year military career, serving in Germany, the South Pacific, Vietnam and Huntsville. He earned his Master's Degree in Engineering from the University of Alabama.

He retired from the Army as a lieutenant colonel. He began a second career in the engineering community of Huntsville, working with Teledyne Brown Engineering for many years before retiring to pursue a third career as a private business owner. In addition to his love of music, he had a passionate interest in British cars and founded Jack's Toy Shop, a business specializing in restoring MGs and Jaguars.

He served on the board of directors in the early years of the Huntsville Symphony and worked with the Huntsville Madison County Chamber of Commerce Leadership forum. He was member of the Episcopal Church of the Nativity and actively participated in the life of the Episcopal Church of the Epiphany in Guntersville during the summer months.

Jack was preceded in death by his mother, Maryan Tillman Gieger and father, Charles McCann Farrington. He is survived by his wife, Beverly Boerner Farrington, of Huntsville; two daughters, Lauren Farrington Flowers, of Dothan, Christin Farrington Street and husband, Tad, of Atlanta; and five grandchildren Douglass, Grace and Virginia Flowers, and Sam and Emily Street.
