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.

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.

Clyde Junior Coffman [Clyde Boyd Coffman Jr] of Potosi, Missouri departed this life on August 2, 2009 at the Potosi Manor Nursing Home having reached the age of eighty four years, eight months and eleven days. He was born on November 22, 1924 at Potosi, Missouri a son to the late Clyde B. Coffman and Margaret (Litton) Coffman.

After Clyde graduated from High School, he was drafted into the United States Navy. He spent three and one half years on the USS Champion, a minesweeper. When he returned to the States, he was sent to Great Lakes, IL and was given several ribbons and honors before being discharged. The war was declared over, several days after he came home.

On November 29, 1945, Clyde was united in marriage to Anna Jean Cain and there were three children born to this union.

Clyde and Anna Jean served for two and a half years at the Potosi Correctional Center having Bible Study. But after Clyde had heart surgery they were compelled to stop because of the many steps. "It was the most rewarding thing we ever did", said Anna Jean.

Clyde was saved and served as a Deacon at Potosi Southern Baptist Church. He was very proud and even when he was sick, he served.

He would be remembered as a very good basketball player with the team called "The Red Raiders" The people of Potosi supported the team and the gym was filled for each game. He later played basketball with the semi-professional team (Meramec Caverns) in St. Louis. He and his family lived in St. Louis for eighteen months and then decided to come home so they could continue their family and raise them in Potosi.

Clyde partnered with Bill Branaugh and opened a Shell gas station locally. Then later he finished a career at the Meramec Mining Company at Pea Ridge. Clyde also was known for his excellence in welding. He had many farm calls, several jobs at the Washington County Jail, Sonic, he made cart returns at the shopping center and much more work from his home workshop. He will be remembered and missed by many and as a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather and friend.

Those who remain to mourn the passing of his life are his wife Anna Jean Coffman of Potosi; son Dennis Ray Coffman and wife Bonnie of Troy, Missouri; two daughters Ellen Marie Pashia and husband Ronnie of Potosi; Mary Anna Gibson and husband Dale of Potosi; seven grandchildren Angella Thomlison and husband Ronald of Potosi; Dennis Ray Coffman, Jr. and wife Angie of Bonne Terre; Gina Gipson and husband Zedrick of Troy, Missouri; Justin Pashia of Potosi; Shane Pashia of Potosi; Timothy Pashia of Potosi; Seth Gibson of Potosi; great grandchildren Erin Frye, Ashley Frye, Garrett Coffman, Courtney Coffman, Brayden Gipson, Isaiah Pashia and Kaleb Pashia; many other relatives and friends who will sadly miss him.

On August 17, 2009 this world lost a wonderful man while the Heavens welcomed home a good and faithful servant. Johnny Lee McIntyre was welcomed into this earthly life on December 23, 1941 by his parents, Chancey Gordon and Ellen DeBose McIntyre. Johnny grew up on his family's farm in the Shiloh Community of Pender County. Johnny was older brother to Shelby, Elaine, Margaret and Gordie. Johnny was married to his best girl, Lucile Dew McIntyre, in December of 1964. Together they raised two children, Sunday Rae and John Christopher, instilling in them a love for the Lord Jesus Christ and a keen sense of perseverance. Daddy taught his children about the truly important things in life: God, family and community. We know that Daddy loved us and cherished our mother. We recognize that this was, and is, a tremendous gift. During his lifetime Johnny was known as a farmer, highway construction foreman, realtor and an extraordinary cook. To many he was also known as a fierce friend, a great listener, and a man of strong convictions. He was a member of Southside Baptist Church where he served as Deacon, member of the choir and was part of the NC Baptist Men's Disaster Recovery team at Southside. Johnny loved his "little ladies" at church and was delighted to cook for them every chance he got. Johnny was preceded in death by his parents Gordon and Ellen McIntyre, two precious grandchildren Mattie Grace and Noah Dylan McIntyre, and a host of beloved aunts and uncles. Surviving to remember him are his loving wife Lucile; children Sunday (Dan) M. Allen, of Elizabethtown, NC; and John C. (Kim) McIntyre, of Wilmington, NC ; grandson Matthew L. Allen; siblings Shelby (Graham) Kilpatrick of Wallace, NC; Elaine (William) Lytton, of Pinehurst, NC; Margaret Sink, of Nashville, NC; and Gordie (Sandi) McIntyre , of Ivanhoe, NC.
