Charles Houghtlin Obituary
He was born in Pittsfield, MA on July 27, 1955, the son of the late Charles and Catherine (Nisil) Houghtlin.
Charles was employed through BFAIR Employment Services at the Pittsfield Veterinary Hospital and Shaker Hill Pet Resort until his retirement in 2020. Following his retirement, he attended the Day Program at BAROCO in Pittsfield.
Charles was a loyal fan of the Boston Red Sox and Savannah Bananas baseball teams. He loved music and attending concerts, especially getting the chance to sing and dance. He loved going to ball games, taking vacations and cruises, and enjoyed action and horror movies.
Survivors include three sisters, Catherine Clark, Georgianne Moore, and Rosemarie Houghtlin, his Cousin Emma Derby Brookman and her husband William, his nephews Jared Houghtlin and Dana Brookman, and many other aunts, uncles, and cousins. He also leaves his long-time caregiver Linda Cunningham, his many friends, and caregivers at Baroco, Nonotuck, and BFAIR.
His family would like to thank everyone at Berkshire Medical Center who took care of him, especially the 5th floor staff, for their care and support.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Berkshire Humane Society-Dr. John Reynolds Adoption & Education Center, for all the care and compassion that Dr. Reynolds had shown Charlie over the years.
