    Always very open to talk to! Even though we only met at St. John’s Nep. in 3rd and 4th grades, we also were cub scouts together. Many years passed by and when I met you again after high school , you always gave me your time to say hello. Maybe you don’t even remember me from those days and you just let me talk. “Who the heck are you?” Lol!
    But you still took time to listen to my pleasantries! I will miss seeing you out and about Buddy!
    Peace to you and your family knowing you did touch people.

    I am deeply saddened to hear about this. Buddy and I were brief boyfriend and girlfriend back in high school. I even went to his boot camp graduation ceremony.
    I am sending my deepest condolences to his family and friends.

Testimonials

October 22, 2015

My husband, Tom, died on Jan. 24, 2015. From that life-changing day and still now, Gary and his sons have been at my side taking care of me, advising me, and guiding me with their sensitive, caring, and efficient expertise. I have heard from friends and family how perfect and wonderful the funeral service was (it was a blur for me), and I have the beautiful obit, memorial booklets, CD rom of slide show, celebration candle, portrait, and even personalized thank you cards to provide memories and comfort during difficult days ahead. My heart is full of thanks and appreciation to Gary Langendorf and his entire family.
