HOWARD HOUGHTON SR. AGE: 86, METUCHEN
Howard G. Houghton Sr., 86, passed away on Thursday, July 24, 2008, at his home, surrounded by his wife and family who loved him. Born in Jersey City, Howard lived there before moving to Menlo Park Terrace 54 years ago. He worked for the Social Security Administration as District Manager in Perth Amboy and Trenton, retiring 23 years ago. He served in the U.S. Marine Corps during World WarII, and was in combat on Kwaja- lein Atoll, Saipan, Tinian, and Iwo Jima.

He was a member of American Legion Post 471 in Iselin and the Disabled American Veterans Chapter 52 in Edison. Howard was a graduate of Jersey City State College, and was a quiet and modest man who was well respected by all who knew him. He was predeceased by his mother, Frieda Waldhauer Houghton; his brothers, Stanley and Wallace, and his sister, Edith Hunter. He is survived by his wife of 62 years, Kathleen (Reynolds) Houghton; his sons, Howard Jr. and his wife, Janis of Springfield, Va., and James of Florida; his daughters, Barbara Horahan and her husband, Kevin Sr. of Brick, Kathy Won- ski and her husband, Michael of Brick, and Mariellen Scoopo and her husband, Frederic of Randolph; grandchildren, Kevin Horahan Jr. and his wife, Marianne, Erin Nagle and her husband, Matthew, Andrew, Hannah and Michael Houghton, Michael and Thomas Wonski, Ryan and Taylor Scoopo, and great-grandchildren, Kieran and Quinn Nagle.
