“My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Houghton family for the loss of a great man who will be deeply missed. Amo’s contributions and imprint on our community, region, state and nation will be felt long beyond his years here. One of the things I learned from Amo and most admired about him is how hard he worked to encourage civility and collegiality in our politics. A lesson we can all learn from and practice in our daily lives. Thank you Amo for your service to our community and nation. May you rest in peace.”
