I was so sorry to hear about Mr Lang's passing. My daughter attended Western (02-06) and ran on their track team and he was a main fixture at many of their major meets. He really supported the athletic teams of Western. As an all girl school, you may think that a male athletic director wouldn't care or be concerned about a bunch a female athletes. But he put his heart and soul into those young ladies which helped Western to become one of the most athletically talented school in the whole state of Maryland. It was a perfect balance to go with the outstanding academics that Western was known for. He made a tremendous impact on all of the young ladies he served and I'm so sad to hear about his passing yesterday and upset that I was unaware of it until now. He will be sorely missed. RIP, Mr Lang. God Speed!

David was a colleague of mine at Walbrook in the mid-seventies and at Southwestern HS in the eighties. I retired from Western in 2001, one year after David joined Western's faculty. David was a most dedicated, caring, competent professional who was highly respected by his students and peers. My deepest sympathy to you at this terrible time. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Sincerely,
Barbara Hamaker Gudenius, English Dept. Head at Southwestern and Western 1979-2001

Mr. Lang, words cannot express what you meant to us. I want to thank you for being in my life the last 5 years. Like a grandfather you were always wise and helped me to expand my horizon about sports in general. As a man you helped me to realize that family is more important then anything else. Western and Baltimore City will never be the same. Coach Chris

My prayers are with you and Jonathan at this most difficult time. I worked with Dave at Southwestern and he and I were Academy Leaders in the BITS Academy. I could always count on him. He was such a wonderful person and he made my day with his sense of humor. He was so proud of his family. Please know that you are in my prayers. Virginia V. Watkins (Columbia, MD)

I worked with David at Southwestern, and we could always count on him at graduation time. He was an expert in arranging the students on the stage so that the purple and gold robes formed a pattern. He always had everything in order so that those of us who had to put the diplomas in order had an easy job, and every student recieved the right diploma as he walked across the stage.
I am praying that "the God of all comfort" will comfort you and give you peace.
Sincerely,
