Mr. Langemann's Legacy

On January 10th, our dear friend Mr. Albert Langemann passed away of a heart attack while hiking one of Colorado's mountains, Long Peak. It was a huge shock, to all friends, and to his dear family. It was his daughter Angela's birthday - we're 5 days a part - and she wanted to go hiking for her birthday, which was a regualar sport for the Langemanns, when at 10,000 feet elevation, 2.5 miles up the trail, he dropped and went to Jesus. Angie and her friends, and her younger brother (who was the only one right with him when he fell) tried CPR, and then Angie went for the nearest ranger. The rest of the family drove the two hours to join them at the rangers station.

I've known Mr. Langemann every since I can remember. Our families met 24 years ago, when Mrs. Langemann and my mom were in the nursery with Angie and I at a conference, and we became close friends over the years. Our families had similar ages between the children, and our lives similar - homeschooling, bigger family, love of music, loved the Lord, etc. At least once a year usually, we'd get together, and a lot more in the last 10 years. They were like extended family to us. Mr. Langemann helped give my older brother his present job, as well as provided woodworking opportunites to another brother in the same company. He was always encouraging, and a man of vision for his family, and supportive of those around.

Him and his family did the main music for our wedding which was so wonderful. We never dreamed that that would be the last time that they would play together at a wedding, where it was all recorded, and we never thought that saying goodbye to him, it would be the last time here on earth to see Mr. Langemann. He left an incredible godly legacy...one I'm so thankful that I have been imapcted by.

His homegoing celebration is on Saturday - Jan 17th in Denver, CO - His online obituary is here: http://www.newcomernet.com/obituaries/obituary.asp?src=value&obitid=30958
