Henry Claude Houghton

A memorial service is being arranged for a later date for former Bishop resident Henry (Hank) Houghton.
Born March 15, 1949 to Hank and Blanche Houghton, “Hanky” (as many knew him) died Feb. 14, 2008 in San Jose after a lengthy illness.
Hank graduated from Bishop High School in 1967. He worked for Rancho Samataguma in the Owens Valley and packed for Red’s Meadow Pack Station.
He married Jacquelyn Chance. They had a son, Jess, and later divorced. Hank moved to Nevada and worked in Lovelock and Fallon feedlots. He worked laying conduit for telecommunications in Reno and Dayton until moving to the Gilroy Morgan Hill area in California in 1981, where he remained until his death.
Hank will be remembered for his witty sense of humor and positive attitude right up to his last days.
Hank is survived by his son, Jess Houghton of Las Vegas; sister, Mary Ann Rugh of Spring Creek, Nev.; and several nieces and nephews and many cousins.
