ObituaryDec 6, 2017William L. "Gil" Houghton 5/27/1928 ~ 11/28/2017 The glorious life my devoted parents, Thomas and Juliet, gave me ended the other day. Most of it was spent with my loving wife, Renee. Our children, John, Elizabeth Ann and Mary Ellen, brightened our lives as did our grandchildren, David, Christophe, Holly and James. Our great grandchildren, Sam, Evelyn and Ethan were a delight to us too. After Renee passed away I was able to share the later years of my life with another lovely lady, Beth. My preference was to have no public services, but hoped I'd be remembered only as I lived. www.goffmortuary.com
