TO: The Entire Lang Family,
I am so very sorry to learn of Bob's passing! I knew Bob from talking with him over at Leo's Gas Station and also from High School. He was a fine Mayor of East Bangor, Pennsylvania! I would also like to "Thank Bob" for his dedicated and honorable Military service to OUR Country. He is to be honored for being one of those who stepped forward, to serve in a Military Uniform.
May ALL of GOD'S blessings be with the Lang Family!
"WELCOME HOME"

Sharon and Family; We are very saddened by Bob's passing. He was a great neighbor; and friend. He will be missed, as will the conversations we had when he would stop his Cub Cadet and chat. We will never forget when he helped Jill when we had a severe rainstorm; and I was at work. Rest in Peace Bob.
