Houck, Susan Houck, nee Gregory

Familiar   face   at   food   pantry   dies   at   61

        OCALA - Just last week Susan Houck talked about how she hated to think that a child might not have food to eat. She always hoped when donations came in to the Help Agency of the Forest that there would be a few snacks, like popcorn, for the children, that could be tucked in the boxes of food the agency gave to needy families.

       Houck ran the food pantry off State Road 40 in the Forest that she and her son started 15 years ago. But Houck's familiar face will not be at the Help Agency when the doors open today. She died of liver failure Monday night at Munroe Regional Medical Center.

        "There's a hole out here now," said Sarah Fletcher, Houck's friend and a 10-year volunteer at the Help Agency. "She never turned down anybody. Sometimes she spent her own money on them."

        Fletcher said that Houck, who could be stubborn at times, was known throughout the Forest community and helped everyone she possibly could.

        "I am a better person for knowing her, that's for sure," Fletcher said, fighting back tears. "We lost an angel here, but God certainly got one in heaven."

        Houck, 61, was born in Pittsburgh and moved to West Virginia, where she spent her childhood. As an older teen, she moved to Bradenton. She married David Eugene "Gene" Houck, 41 years ago. The family moved to Ocala in 1981.

        "We grew up very poor," said the couple's son, David Houck. "Dad was hurt when I was 8 years old. We lost pretty much what we had. When we moved up here in '81, we had absolutely nothing and my parents still gave everything away."

        "It is the spirit of giving that marked Susan Houck's life and influenced her son, a nationally appointed missionary paid by the Assemblies of God church in Springfield, Mo"People know her as the Christmas Lady," David Houck said. "At Christmas time, we didn't give two toys to a kid. We gave them a whole Christmas. We did that for 500 kids."

        The children never knew the gifts came from the Help Agency.

        Children were central to Houck's life.

        "I am an only child, but I have a lot of brothers and sisters," David Houck said. "I think at one time we had 13 children in my house."

        He said his mother raised her youngest sister and her children.

        "We basically raised cousins, nephews and family friends," he said.

        One cousin, Roland Briggs, came to live in the Houck household when he was 5 years old.

        "He's, basically, my brother," David Houck said.

        Susan and Gene Houck's work also involved helping people. They would move in with disabled or elderly people and care for them, David Houck said.

        Pastor Tony David of the Faith Family Fellowship church in the Forest sat with Susan Houck on the Forest Advisory Board and sent people who needed help to the Help Agency.

        "I have known the family for years," David said. "She was a very loving person, a very kind person. She was concerned about people."

        David said the Help Agency is important to the community. "That's what we have been trying to do out here in the Forest - what can we do to make this community better. Sue has been somebody on the front lines doing that. We were very blessed to have her out here."

        David Houck said he will become more involved in the day-to-day operations of the Help Agency. The organization will be open today, but will be closed Friday.

        A service will be held for Susan Houck at 6 p.m. Friday at the Ocklawaha Bridge Baptist Church.

Evansville   couple   dies   of   CO   poisoning

        Evansville police say a man and a woman have been found dead in a home on Carolina Avenue, north of Diamond Avenue.

        It's believed to be a case of carbon monoxide poisoning.

        Officers say an employer called to say one of the victims had not showed up for work, that's when police went to the home for a welfare check.

        It was then they found the bodies of James and Phyllis Kisner.

        Police say power to the house had been turned off and the couple had been using a generator inside the house.

        "Basically, those portable generators need to be on the outside of the residence. I mean, they release carbon monoxide which is obviously deadly. They definitely do not need to be inside of a residence like this one was," said Sergeant Josh Wittmer with the Evansville Police Department.

        The carbon monoxide levels were so high in the home several officers had to be treated at the scene.

        Police believe the Kisners died Wednesday.

        James M. Kisner Jr. of Evansville, Ind., passed away on June 26, 2008 — too young at 61 years of age.

        James was born on March 26, 1947, in Evansville, Ind. He grew up in Evansville and attended Bosse High School. At Bosse, James distinguished himself by winning a national writing contest. In 1965, James moved to Bloomington, Ind., to attend Indiana University, where he would earn an undergraduate degree and also a Master of Arts degree in English. At Bloomington, James met his first wife and mother of his children, Carole Kleckner. They were married in Bloomington in 1969. In the spring of 1977, James became the proud father of a set of boy-girl twins, James the III and Jayne Marie. James would later return to his roots in Evansville, Ind., in 1999. He met his second wife, Phyllis, working as a security guard at the Whirpool plant in Evansville.

        In the early years of his career, James held various positions as a creative and account executive at advertising agencies in Evansville and Indianapolis. However, he began writing part time as an ad man and eventually left the profession to dedicate himself to writing full time. In 1981, James became a published novelist for the first time with his mystery novel, Nero's Vice. He would quickly follow up in 1982 with another thriller called Slice of Life.

        One of his most widely acclaimed short stories (and perhaps his first published foray into the horror genre), The Litter (1987), appeared in the anthology Masques II. The collection also featured short stories by well-known masters of horror Stephen King, Richard Matheson and Richard Bloch. His third book, Strands (1988), began a series of novels in the horror genre that would not end until his last book. Throughout his writing career, James published 11 novels under his own name as well as pseudonyms including Martin James and Eric Flanders. His final novel, Tower of Evil, was published in 1994, and was an homage to time he spent working as a security guard watching over the Indiana National Bank tower in downtown Indianapolis, Ind.

        James was preceded in death by his mother, Norma. He is survived by his son, James M. Kisner III; his daughter, Jayne Kendall, M.D.; his brother, Dan; his father, James Sr.; his half brothers, John and Ronald; and his twin grandchildren, Jackson and Claire Kendall.

        Memorial services for James and his wife, Phyllis, will be held at 3 p.m. Monday, June 30th, 2008 at Browning Funeral Home, 738 Diamond Ave. with Rev. Steve Clayton officiating. Visitation will be held at Browning Funeral Home from noon to 3 p.m. on Monday, June 30th, 2008. Memorial contributions may be made to the James Kisner family.
