Richard E. Haughton III

Lt. Dick Haughton was my first partner after being assigned to the NNPD Detective Bureau. He was a fine man, gentleman and a cops cop. Lt. Haughton had a lot of influence on new detectives and was a mentor. God bless his family and RIP Brother.

Dad, I am missing you and Mom so very much. I am reminded today, that every conversation had so much more meaning than I could have imagined. Thank you for being the Best Dad Ever!

Uncle Dick was like a father to me. He was a man's man and I always tried to be like him. I never knew a more courageous man in my life. Some of my favorite memories are of Uncle Dick and I coaching Billy's baseball team. They don't make men like uncle Dick anymore. I love him and am comforted to know he is with Aunt Jeanette and Billy walking with Jesus. End of Watch Uncle Dick. Job well done.

I am very said to hear that a special person like Mr. Haughton has been taken away. May the family find peace and love in comfort I this time.

Mr. Haughton would greet me at the door of Denbigh Christian Church on Sunday morning and tell me how nice it was to see me. I enjoyed seeing his smiling face when I entered the building. The Lord has gained a new smile in his Kingdom.

Everything said in this obituary is very true and that is very rare. Dick really did live that way, always smiling, always true to his word, always looking out for someone else, even though he had more than enough of his own problems to deal with and no one would have blamed him if he was cranky. But he wasn't. He always tried to laugh and let others laugh with him.

I was very sad to hear he passed. My family did his taxes for almost 60 years. He told me stories about flying pigeons...
