DANIEL T. LANGDALE

Remembering Dan as a friend, softball player, wife's co-worker and all round good guy. Mr. Langdale knit an afghan for my first born son that we still have after 23 years. The afghan reminds us Dan and Sharry Langdale's love for others and the wonderful times spent in Massachusetts. Rest in peace Dan.

Another year. I'm on Earth and your at Peace in Heaven. Some day we will meet again. Bob

Cannot believe it's been 6 years since you left this earth. I open our '55 Yearbook and all the good memories come flooding back. Though we didn't spend much time together after Colerain, your friendship has always been a part of my life. RIP good friend.

To this day in 2020 I still think of the days I shared with Dan and Sharry. It lifts my spirits to bring these forward in my memory. Dan'e sense of humor and easy going attitude were contagious. RIP Dan, you will remain in our thoughts forever.

Dan was one of the finest men I have ever met. As a neighbor on Brookside Ave in Newtonville we enjoyed Dan's friendship for many years. Gatherings and just chance neighborhood encounters with Dan and Sharry were always very stimulating and lots of fun. If I close my eyes I can still see him talking to me; I can so fondly remember his voice. Dan, I really miss you.

Mom, dad (me) and our son visited Cal Inst of Technology in 2003, where we met Mr. Langdale as Director of Admissions. We talked extensively about education at MIT, CIT and other universities. He was generous in his comments and down to Earth. We even discussed the out of topic subject: should he join fellow CIT's professors to play hoops weekly? We assured him: if you don't feel like playing, just shoot some hoops on the side. He also advised us not to feel diminished if CIT won't admit our...

Dan: Your friendship has been a later life gift. You taught me much about patience, perspective and appreciation for the simple joy of playing a 'boys game' in our later years. Now you've shown us the possibility for grace, courage, humor and humility in facing our mortality. I'll miss our burgers beers, and baseball talk at D & G; but get the field ready up there....I'm sure we'll be teammates again.

Sharry - I will always fondly remember my lunches with Dan and Sam. His wit and wisdom guided me through life. I can never forget his smile and cheerful demeanor. Our thoughts are with you at this time.

Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you. I know he was a personal guardian for me during my undergraduate years at MIT. There were many days I did not know if I would be able to afford food and he managed to find ways to assist me. He never once judged or made me feel bad about not having financial resources. I look forward to donating in his memory.
