Rev. Alanson Bigelow Houghton

The love you shared with each other and the world was beautiful...thank you....

I am saddened to see this. Alan and Billie were among my most favorite people on earth. I traveled with them while Alan promoted Partners In Love, stayed with them in Charleston, dined with them during our honeymoon and visited Pawleys Island. Alan always offered loving and wise advice. He meant the world to me.

I am honored to have known my father's oldest and dearest friend for my entire life. Uncle Alan as I knew him was the most loving and caring person. He meant the world to my father, Kerry Luther. I'm sorry I didn't learn of his passing so I could attend the memorial. I send my love to his family.

On behalf of the congregation at Christ Episcopal Church in Shaker Heights, Ohio, please accept my condolences at Alan's death. There are a number of people at the parish who still remember Alan and his time as their eighth rector, with great fondness. May God comfort you during this time of loss and may Alan's soul rest in peace and rise in glory. Faithfully, The Rev. Peter Faass Rector Christ Church Shaker Heights

Thoughts and prayers go out to the family from the Bullocks. After only meeting Mr. Houghton one time, we heard many wonderful stories over the years from Hope and family. All the best to the family. John, Dawson, Caroline and Gibson

We celebrate Alan's life with all his family and friends. Harry and Genie Havemeyer

Farewell Mr H. Will always remember my time with you and the family.

The world is diminished with Alan's departing. He was a good friend and encourager to those who struggled to find their way forward.

Heartfelt condolences to the Houghton family on their loss! Joy and Bob Baldwin
