Obituary

LAKELAND -- After suffering an injury during the Vietnam War that was said to leave him unable to ever walk again, Mr. William Kenneth Houghton decided to choose a career in physical therapy. "He truly had a gift for what he did because anybody at Lakeland Regional Medical Center would tell you that when there was a difficult patient, all they had to do was call on Bill," his wife Linda Marie Houghton, said, describing him as a soft-spoken gentleman with a kind, sweet spirit. The retired physical therapist's assistant died of liver cancer Friday (June 6, 2003) at Tampa General Hospital. He was 56. "He loved the Lord and he felt his gift came from the Lord and that he would have never gone into this field if he had never had the injury that he did," she said. The couple would have celebrated their 24th wedding anniversary June 16. Born in Ithaca, N.Y., on Sept. 16, 1946, he served in the Marine Corps in the Vietnam War from 1966 to 1968. He was awarded the Purple Heart and Bronze Star for his heroism during the war where he stepped on a land mine, losing his leg from above the knee. "Through his rehabilitation, he decided to become a physical therapist's assistant. He graduated in the first class at Miami Dade Community College," Linda Houghton said. Mr. Houghton's career in physical therapy spanned 30 years, including the 11 years he worked at Lakeland Regional Medical Center after the family came to Lakeland from Miami in 1982. He was named Employee of the Month for December 1995 and taught orientation classes at the hospital. He retired in September 2001. He enjoyed bass fishing, entering tournaments every year through the Ranger Bass Boat Tournament. He also enjoyed woodworking and was a member of the Ridge Woodcarvers Club of Lakeland. He was a former Sunday school teacher and member of Fellowship Baptist Church, where he worked with the junior church ministry.
