ObituaryFeb 7, 2019South Bend, IN, USA, Paul E. Houghton June 26, 1984 - Feb. 3, 2019

MISHAWAKA, IN - Paul E. Houghton, 34, passed away at home on Sunday, February 3, 2019.

Paul was born on June 26, 1984 in Mishawaka to James and Celeste (Frick) Houghton. Surviving are his loving parents, James and Celeste; sister, Elizabeth (Edward) Thompson; brother, Matthew Houghton; nieces, Lillian Thompson and Stella Thompson; nephews, Wyatt Thompson and Oliver Thompson; and his grandfather, James E. Houghton.
Paul worked in Construction with Local #645. He was a people person, never knew a stranger; he was always there to help his friends with a smile on his face and a twinkle in his eye. Paul had many nicknames (that he would have insisted we not use) but no matter what we called him we always knew him as a wanderer. From the time he was old enough to reach the handle he was out the door, eager to be off exploring neighborhoods and meeting new people. All journeys end though. All wanderings cease. Our wanderer has been called home too soon, so please, come open our door and share memories and moments from his wanderings with you.

ObituaryDec 15, 2014Orange - Kenneth W. Griggs, 83, of Griggs Road, passed away Friday, December 12, 2014, at the Woodridge Nursing Home in Berlin.

Born on September 19, 1931, in Wolcott, he was the son of Floyd and Lena (Houghton) Griggs. His youth was spent on the family farm in Danville. He attended Harvey's Hollow Elementary School and Danville High School. Ken developed his strong work ethic out of necessity. He and his older sister, Phyllis, were forced into operating the family farm following the tragic death of their older brother, Carlton.

On October 25, 1949, Ken married Jean Wesson in Danville. Following their marriage, they lived in many homes before moving to their home on Griggs Road in Orange. At the time of his passing, he and Jean had just celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary.

Ken was primarily employed in sales. He worked for Pratt & Whitney in Connecticut, for the Grand Union Tea Co., the Fuller Brush Co. and the Empire Co. In 1971, he founded Kenco Inc., a cleaning supplies business, which he and his family owned and operated until his retirement in 2007.

He was a past member of the Orange Alliance Church where he had served as a trustee and an elder. He was also a member for many years of the Gideons International. Ken was passionate about spreading God's word through Bible distributions in Haiti, Chile and Argentina, as well as locally to nurses, prisoners, students and motels.

He always looked forward to vacations, traveling with Jean to warmer climates in the winter, as well as attending Gideon meetings and conventions throughout the country.

Always frugal and looking for challenges, Ken preferred to do for himself whatever he wanted or needed done, from building his homes to maintaining and operating the many doodlebugs, tractors and bulldozers he would purchase at auctions.

Survivors include his loving wife, Jean, of Orange; his children, Donna Gallagher and her husband, Harry, of Orange, Reginald Griggs and his wife, Betsy Ross, of Barre, Patsy Knapp and her husband, Luke, of Orange, Lori Beede and her husband, Leon, of Washington, and Scott Griggs and his wife, Debbie, of Orange; 12 grandchildren; 10 great-grandchildren; his sister, Phyllis Lang, of Bath, New Hampshire; nieces and nephews.

Besides his parents, he was predeceased by a grandson, Chris Chaloux; a sister, Ramona Blouin; and his brother, Carlton Griggs.

His funeral service and celebration of his life will be held on Tuesday, December 16, 2014, at 11 a.m. in the Hooker and Whitcomb Funeral Home, 7 Academy Street, Barre. Entombment will take place in the Hooker and Whitcomb vault to await later burial in the Brook Haven Cemetery in Orange.

Following the service, family and friends will gather at the Hilltop Restaurant on Quarry Hill for a time of fellowship, to share memories, and for a luncheon.
