Ruth, it truly pains my heart to learn of the passing of Bobby. He was one of the neatest and most talented persons I have ever met. He built and helped with the body design of mine and George Jackson's B/Gas dragster back in the late '50s and early '60s. I will truly miss him and his wonderful attitude. May all your warm memories comfort you at this time.

Ruth Ann and Family. I just heard of Bobby's passing. I am so sorry. I remember calling you both on one of our trips back there to see if we could see your home and the wonderful work of art by both of your loving hands. It is so beautiful. I had the Star Telegram send me the write up in the paper . I just pray that the Lord will Bless you and your family and give you comfort in the coming days. Bobby will be one to remember. You and he was older than me, you were Iva Marie my sister's age but I remember growing up with all of you at Everman. Again I am sorry. May God Bless you.My husband has since passed away also last year in September 2010.

Bobby, you are one of my all-time heroes in the sport of drag racing. You raced at the first event I ever attended, and it was the performance of your car that made a lasting impression on me that to this day is still an inspiration. Thank you for your great years in our sport. My condolences to the Langley family. Rest in peace, Bobby, and God Bless you.

Bobby's passing has brought back so many wonderful memories of my Dad, Dee Miller and Bobby. Daddy always enjoyed the time he got to spend with Bobby working on motors or just tinkering around. My favorite times were spent in the pit at GreenValley watching Daddy & Bobby making those little adjustments to get the fastest time out of the great "Scorpion".
God Bless each of you with his love.

Ruth Ann and Kids, I just learned about Bobby's death today from Pastor Jim. It is truly a sad day. I like so many other young men who Bobby made feel like we were special in a way that he never knew until I told him just before I moved away. With little effort and that sideways smile of his and the latest tee shirt from Bardal etc. we all felt a part of his world.
Bobby will be truly missed. God Bless you Ruth Ann

So many memories have flooded me since I heard this sad news, Bobby Langley was always bigger than life to me, growing up hearing the roaring engines was just natural for Noble St. Everman TX. Seeing his trophy collection, you were in complete awe. We have lost a great man who will be sadly missed, until we meet again fly on the wings of angels.
Sincerely,

Ruth: Our Prayers and condolences go out to you in this time of great loss. Bobby was one of my father's best and greatest friends. The memories of drag racing together they shared with me are some of the most incredible and touching stories of friendship and fellowship I have ever had the opportunity to learn. His life, kindness and achievements will live on in us daily. The Reed Family, Francis, Jean Ann, Eric (Jack and Helen) and James.
