My sympathy to Todd's family. Todd was extremely dedicated to the Red Cross; I always admired him for his dedication and servitude to the Red Cross and its mission. One could not go into the Langley Room at Piper Center without being reminded of Todd. God's Blessings.

The family of Todd Langley
It was a very sad day for me today when I read Mr. Langley had passed. You do not know me but I had the very great pleasure of working in an office next to Mr. Langley's at 3030 North Central Avenue - 8th Floor, for several years. My name is Alice Thompson and my business was Expertise Secretarial. Mr. Langley and his associate would pop in and use my copy machine! And I remember with a heavy heart the many many "discussions" we would have about auto racing; the drivers, the speeds, various series. I remember also commenting on the paintings that hung in his office after which he smiled and told me he had painted them.
Thank you for allowing me to write this message. It was a true privilege to have known your beloved husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather.
