Richard Litton, CPA, Car Enthusiast, Dry Wit, dies at 77

Richard Eugene Litton passed away at home [Ventura CA] peacefully on March 4, 2009.

Richard was born in Kirksville, Missouri, in 1931 [27 Aug 1931] to Dr. Harold and Josephine Litton. He grew up in Glendale, CA and served honorably in the Navy as a fireman at Fallon NAS in Nevada, and on a seaplane tender in the Philippines during the Korean War.

After graduating with top honors from CSULA with a degree in Accounting, Richard earned his CPA. Later he received a Masters of Taxation from CSU Northridge.

An alumnus of Ernst & Ernst in Los Angeles, he later moved to Ventura and worked with Hutchison, Horn, Johnson & Hey, then joined and became a partner at Vance, Thrift & Biller. He formed two of his own CPA firms, Dunlap & Litton, and then Litton & Williams.

Richard’s passions were classic cars, language, and barbeque. He was a ‘gearhead’, and though not a mechanic he could tell you almost anything about any car between 1930 and 2008. He was known for his wit and sense of humor. He loved puns and wordplay, with a special skill in enunciating any name or word backward, which he learned while typesetting at the LA Times in the 1950’s. Mr. Litton was a tennis player, and was one of the first members of the Pierpont Racquet Club in Ventura. He was always available to anyone who needed advice and wisdom.

“Death is nothing at all. It does not count. I have only slipped away into the next room.” (From Henry Scott Holland)

The cause of death was pulmonary failure. He is survived by his wife of nearly 40 years Barbara, daughter Jody, sons Mark, Brian and wife Kay, Michael and wife Susan, and 3 grandchildren: Eric, Adrianna, and Paige. Special thanks to Sheryl Williams and to his caregiver Alexander Villano.

Friends are invited to an informal gathering to celebrate Richard’s life. Please call 805-535-5497 to RSVP. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Richard’s name at YMCA Resident Camps, PO Box 2440, Julian, CA 92036, or the charity of your choice.

Her family was one of the pioneer families that settled in Marion County in 1847 while the Indians were still active in the area. The family has always been politically active since her Grandfather was a coauthor of the State of Florida's Constitution. Her immediate family lived most of her life on that original land grant on the shores of North Lake Bryant on the western edge of the Ocala National Forest. She graduated from East Marion High School at Lynne, Fla. before going to Florida State College for Women (now F.S.U.) where she graduated with a degree in Home Economics. During her first post graduate year she taught Home Economics and coached the girls athletics at Reddick, Fla.- The following year she went with the U.S. Dept of Agriculture in teaching food preparation and canning along with other household talents including general health guidelines to the farm women in Pasco County near Lakeland- After moving to Atlanta in 1939 she was dietician at Georgia Tech, Emory Hospital and Georgia Baptist Hospitals. She and Dr. A. Hamblin Letton were married in 1938.

A group of Atlanta friends planned a trip to France on an Art Tour, During this time the integration of the church brought on very strong opinions by the various groups of the women and it became a serious problem, therefore she felt it her duty to stay home and try to bring harmony to the group.
