April 23. 1918 — Jan. 7. 2013

Bill Houghton, a World War II veteran, retired small business owner and devoutly Christian family man, passed away Monday, Jan. 7, in the company of his wife of more than 70 years, Jean Houghton. He was 94. For the past five years they have been residents of War- ren, Indiana
William Hileary Hough- ton was born April 23, 1918 in Los Angeles to Howard Baker Houghton and Mary Woodburn Houghton, both Indiana natives. He was raised in Vincennes, Indi- ana, growing up during the Great Depression as the old- est of three sons. The family moved to Huntington, Ind., in the mid-1930s. In addition to working at various jobs, he attended Huntington College and took classes at Ball State University before enrolling in Indiana Univer- sity in Bloomington. It was there, while working in the university bookstore, that he met his future wife, Jean Parker of Pendleton, Ind. After earning his bachelor’s degree in business admin- istration in 1940 he went to work for Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co., first in Min- neapolis, Minn., then Ak- ron, Ohio, and eventually New York City. With the outbreak of World War II, he joined in the U.S. Army Air Corps and became a pi- lot instructor at Randolph Field in San Antonio, Texas,
Field in San Antonio, Texas, where he was married, and rose to the rank of Major. After the war he returned to Huntington with his family and took jobs with Kitchen Maid, Maco Corp, and fi- nally Westinghouse in Ft. Wayne until 1955, when he acquired his own business, Lehman Electric & Plumb- ing. He served as a Deacon at the First Presbyterian Church.
More than any financial successes. Bill sought to serve the Lord, adored his wife and loved their children. His sense of humor warmed friends as he in- vested in and touched the lives of so many. He was passionate about flying, boating, golfing, fishing, playing cards and IU sports. He played tennis well into his 80‘s. He was fun.
After decades in the retail business he and his wife re- tired to the St. Petersburg, Fla., area where they vol- unteered at All Children’s’’ Hospital, until they eventu- ally moved back to Hunting- ton County.
In addition to his wife, he is survived by his three chil- dren, William H. (Natasha) Houghton Jr., Ft. Wayne; Janet Houghton (Ted) Ben- dall, Huntington; Howard P. Houghton, Santa Fe, N.M; granddaughter, Amy Houghton (Andrew) War- ren. Ft. Wayne; and one great-grandchild, Asher.
He was preceded in death by his two younger broth- ers, John W. Houghton of Carmel, Ind., and Howard B. Houghton Jr. of Franklin, N.C.
