Aug 5, 2010

Bangor, Penobscot Co., ME, USA, HAMPDEN - Dudley Houghton, 67, husband of Nancy (McInnis) Houghton, died unexpectedly Aug. 4, 2010, at his home. He was born Oct. 21, 1942, in Schenectady, N.Y., the son of Herbert and Mary (Gulnac) Houghton. Before moving to Orono, Dudley's younger years were spent in Waterford and Rumford, where he was a member of the ski and football teams. He attended Gould Academy and later graduated from Orono High School, Class of 1961. He enlisted in the U.S. Air Force serving from 1962 to 1965, including service in Turkey and Vietnam during the war. While raising their children in Bangor, Dudley worked at Great Northern/Bowater Paper, Millinocket, until his retirement. He was an avid sports fan and could be heard, if not seen, at many sporting events. He especially enjoyed watching his children and grandchildren's games. He will be sadly missed by all including those he encountered each morning at Pat's Pizza or the corner store. Surviving, in addition to his wife, are his four children, Stephanie Terry and her husband, Jason, of Casco, Paula Page and her husband, Chris, of Hermon, Jeff Houghton and his wife, Suzie, of Bangor, and Stefan Oberg and his wife, Anna, of Sweden. "Bumpa" will be fondly remembered by his 10 grandchildren, Andrew, Jackson, Alyssa, Maddie, Grace, Abby, Julia, William, Martin and Anton; his brothers, Richardson "Ritz" of Colorado and James "Howdy" of Bar Harbor; sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law, Barbara McInnis and Steven Rouse of Washburn, Janet McInnis and Dick Goodman of Hermon, and Maddy and Steve Currier of Lee. He was predeceased by his parents; and brother, John Houghton. Family and friends may visit 1-3 and 5-7 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 8, at Kiley & Foley Funeral Service, 299 Union St., Bangor. A private service celebrating Dudley's life will be held at a later date.

Obituary

Oct 26, 2017

Richardson "Ritz" Houghton

SURRY - Richardson "Ritz" Houghton, 67, died October 21, 2017 peacefully in his sleep. He was born August 28, 1950 in Deerfield, MA, the 3rd son of the late Rev. Herbert and Mary (Gulnac) Houghton. He grew up in Maine and graduated from Orono High School. Ritz began his masonry career as an apprentice in Bangor, two years later laid brick on high-rises in NY, and then ventured to South Africa to work on the Johannesburg Hospital and the Middleburg Dam. In 1977, he settled in Colorado, managed 2 masonry companies, and then started his own. His projects included churches, parking garages, schools, shopping malls, and custom homes - the largest being the 55,000 sq. ft. Hala Ranch in Aspen, CO. Within 15 years, Ritz trained over 12 apprentices, 8 of whom became contractors or in management positions.

Ritz is survived by his long-time friend and partner, Debra Boyd (Surry); daughter Brianna Houghton Richardson and husband Jon (League City, TX); Deb's children, Marcella, Sean and Serena Boyd (Fort Collins, CO); brother James "Howdy" Houghton (Bar Harbor); and two devoted Norwegian Elkhounds, Scruf and Blue. He was preceded in death by his brothers, Dudley and John Houghton.

Our "Rock It Scientist" will be sadly missed by his family and friends, but we are certain he is searching for his next project in the sky. As Ritz would say, "Never take anything for granite, especially each other." In accordance with his wishes, no funeral service is planned. A Celebration of Ritz's Life will be held in November. Condolences may be sent to 216 High St #341, Ellsworth, ME 04605.
