We have some great memories that we would like to share with the Langway family. Ruth and I lived at Suffolk House in the married student apartments while I was pursuing my bachelors degree in electrical engineering with Bob at UMass and beginning to raise our family as well. We enjoyed many good times together, including sharing meals occasionally. Bob & Luisa were such a great loving and lovely couple whom we enjoyed spending time with together. The last time we saw Bob & Luisa was at our 50th class reunion at UMass. It was great seeing them and catching up on everything that had transpired since we had graduated from UMass. We offer our sincerest condolences to the Langway family. May Bob & Luisa rest in peace. God bless them.
