Fred W Houston passed peacefully at his home in the wee hours of the morning on Friday, April 5th, 2024, after a night of watching footie (soccer for the rest of us) and chatting with dear friends.
The man lived a full life that took him around the world more than once. "For the sins of his youth" he went into law and practiced in Brattleboro, Londonderry and finally Wilmington before retiring into curmudgeonhood at his apartment at 6 South Main St.
Prior to practicing law, he was a member of Putney Folk at Windham College, then toured across the country as a roadie with Dawson Sound Company, hauling gear for bands such as Steely Dan and the Mahavishnu Orchestra.
He is predeceased by his moustache, and his best friend of many years, Eileen Greber. He is survived by his sister Molly Savard, and his two children Clay and Justin Houston.
Services will be held on Saturday, April 13th at St. Mary's In the Mountains Episcopal Church at 2:00 pm.
In lieu of cut flowers, go outside and plant some (once this blasted winter finally ends).
"It's all Rock and Roll!"
