Thomas Houghton

He was so kind and a great teacher. He will be missed.

I don't know why I just thought of him but Mr. Houghton was my fourth grade teacher in 1981. Everyday he played God Bless America on the piano. He also gave out Exxon maps of New Jersey to his students and that year we got to keep them. Anthony P. Haythorn

Not a thought of Harvey Cedars and Long Beach Island comes to my mind without also a thought of Mr. Houghton and his family. He will always be in my best memories of the Jersey Shore.

Mr. Houghton was my first real boss, and he showed me how patience can be the best management tool. He also would make sure to recognize exemplary work. I really enjoyed my years working at Houghton's Rowboats and being a part of that iconic Harvey Cedars business.

Mr. Houghton was a kind...

As a great first boss at Houghton's Rowboats and a first class body surfer.

As a first year teacher in the fifth grade at the Forked River School, I was fortunate to become a colleague and a friend of Tom's and his wonderful wife, Joy. He was such an excellent teacher and always willing to help a new teacher with questions. God bless you and your wonderful family, Tom. It was my pleasure to know and learn from you.

My son tom ghigliotty was in 6th grade in lacey township school and Mr Houghton was his favorite teacher.. rest in peace .. wonderful man. and condolences to his wife and family......
