Robert LANGTON Obituary

ROBERT WILLIAM ROY LANGTON September 4, 1966 - March 9, 2019 It is with broken hearts to announce the sudden passing of Robert Langton on March 9, 2019. Beloved husband and partner in life of John Farrauto. Loving son of the late Beverley Linda Joan (Colbourne) Langton and Howard Everet Anthony, grandson of the late Roy Herbert Langton, beloved brother of Donna Lee Colbourne , Karen Badcock (Anthony) and Mark Anthony. Uncle to Isabella Barth, Dane Anthony Badcock and Reid Corey Babcock. Robert will be missed by dear friends , John Robert Judge, David Caplan , Juan Avina Ascencio, Bonnie Docherty, Simeon Spier, Margaret Gibson and many more. Robert was passionate about all aspects of style, from fashion to architecture, and extending the boundaries of creativity in both his personal and work lives. Robert loved travelling the globe and immersing himself in local cultures and being at one with local peoples. Mexico, in particular, was a second home. He adored its lively, colourful and storied culture, and its warm and inviting people. Robert was a master of the scissors. Hair styling was his craft and there was no boundary he would not push when it came to his craft. For Robert, hairstyling was an art form, a way in which one expressed themselves and he managed to zero in on the desires of his clients. A celebration of Robert's life will take place Sunday, March 24, 2019 at 3:00 p.m. At La Maquette, 111 King Street East In lieu of flowers , memorial donations may be made to The 519 community centre to support LGBTQ2S communities.

Robert was a unique, talented, crazy, funny, creative and loving person. I still can't believe he is gone. Although we did not spend a lot of time together, there was always a connection and he always brought out the 'character' in me. Life will certainly never be the same for those who knew him. Robert, I will miss you always but you will always have a place in my heart. Robert was so lucky to have had John as his life partner. I cannot think of anyone that could have been better, stronger, more loving or more caring than John was and is. John, I am so sorry for your loss.

Robert was a kind and loving man, with a heart of gold. His laughter, kind eyes, our talks, and his hugs always made my day special at the salon. He made me look and feel wonderful. I will miss him dearly. My heart goes out to John, family and friends.

My Cousin Robbie, It bothers me that you are not on the face of this earth,and that you will never send a message of gardening tips, I will never hear I love you, or talk about the past. I truly miss you! You were my big cousin who was the coolest!!! In deep conversations you felt that you missed love of family, but you were loved, and are family. You were successful in all your endeavors. You were admired, when you didn't even know. Until we meet again, my dear cousin. I love you,and you will always be in my heart, and deepest thoughts. Love you!

A Reminiscence

YES, thou art gone! and never more
Thy sunny smile shall gladden me;
But I may pass the old church door,
And pace the floor that covers thee.

May stand upon the cold, damp stone,
And think that, frozen, lies below
The lightest heart that I have known,
The kindest I shall ever know.

Yet, though I cannot see thee more,
'Tis still a comfort to have seen;
And though thy transient life is o'er,
'Tis sweet to think that thou hast been;

To think a soul so near divine,
Within a form so angel fair,
United to a heart like thine,
Has gladdened once our humble sphere.

It's been almost 30 years that I have known Robert and John and albeit not close dinner friends or companions he always had a place in my heart and our paths often crossed. A true gentleman and a scholar, Robert's presence and being will surely be missed and a void will be left in all our hearts ! My deepest sympathy and condolence to John and his birth family, I look forward to being present and celebrating his life tomorrow with all of you !

I first came to have my hair cut by Robert in 1994 & I never stopped coming - not just for the excellent cut but also because I loved spending that time with Robert. He made me feel like I was going to be OK even when I felt I wasn't - thanks to his warmth, wit, empathy & generosity. (We were also known to wickedly skewer people we thought were acting like fools!) I also loved watching Robert & John interact, treating one anothet with such love, respect & tenderness. I miss Robert like mad & I always will.
