Obituary

Mar 19, 2015

With Jib and Jigger raised, Houghton Carr, Jr., sailed away to the ports of heaven on Tuesday, March 17, 2015, after a hard fought battle with Parkinson's Disease. His family and friends will truly miss his zest for life, sense of adventure, and his quick wit.
Born in Boston, Mass. on May 8, 1930, he was raised in Hingham, Mass. along with his siblings Nancy and Alan.
He started sailing at the age of nine which became his lifelong passion. Houghton attended Derby Academy, Governor Dummer Academy, and graduated from the University of New Hampshire with a degree in mechanical engineering.
During the Korean War, he served as a sound range artillery infantryman with the United States Army.
Houghton was predeceased by his first wife, Mary Davis of Hingham. They moved to Cazenovia, NY, where they restored a two hundred year old farmhouse and raised their four children.
Until his retirement, he was employed at Carrier Corporation in Syracuse, NY for nearly 30 years.
He was an active member of St. Peter Episcopal Church and the Willow Bank Yacht Club.
He and Mary retired to West Bath, Maine in 1989.
Houghton maintained an active retirement. He continued to sail, and volunteered as a member of the Maine Maritime Museum as well as the Portland Museum of Art.
Later, he married Jennifer Ertner of Orr's Island, his wife of the last 17 years. They lived in Yarmouth and loved antiquing, traveling, entertaining, and good food.
Houghton is survived by his beloved wife, Jennifer; his four children, Edward Carr, Molly Jones, David Carr, Marjorie Murray, and Jennifer's daughter, Gail Lillard and their spouses; as well as his five grandsons, Jameson Carr, Bryce Tetreault, Davis Jones, Nicholas Carr, and Eric Murray.
A memorial service will be held in celebration of his life at Grace Episcopal Church, 106 Lowell Street, Manchester, NH on Saturday, March 28, 2015, at 2 p.m. Published in Portland Press Herald/Maine Sunday Telegram from Mar. 19 to Mar. 20, 2015²
