Peter, As you know I had the pleasure of working with your father during his term as President of the Urban Development Institute. He was a visionary developer and had a strong committment to the industry he loved and the Institute. He lead the Institute with a gentle determination and his contribution will never be forgotten. He was a true gentleman.

To Paul & Family: So sad to hear of your Dad's passing, Peter was a fine gentleman and often reminded me of my own Father. He was kind, thoughtful and considerate to others. And what a sense of humour!
May he rest in peace and God be with you in your time of grief. Be well.

Dear Peter,

My heartfelt sympathies to you and your family. "Mr. Langer" was a man with heart, integrity and was a true gentleman. I remember when I left Markborough in 1980 and he said to me that the door is always open for me to return - I did 10 years later! I too, will always remember Markborough, a company he built - no other company will ever compare. We have lost a great man - always to be remembered.

Peter, Demian and Family - my heart is filled with sadness as I read of the passing of Mr. Langer (HPL). Thoughtful, loving, kind, and considerate of all others … a true gentleman; one of a kind!! HPL made Markborough one of the most exceptional places to work. I will always treasure my memories of those days. Peter, you are in my thoughts and my prayers. May the Lord give you the strength you need to get you through this sad time.
