It was my privilege to attend the Army Navy game last week with family and friends - as I try to each year - especially since it was even closer to us in Baltimore. Was accompanied by friends from Florida - New Jersey - Ohio - New York Connecticut and Virginia - 71,600 attendees filled the Raven's Stadium - total sellout and the stadium is only rated at 71,000 - so there were a few hundred people standing somewhere. Army-Navy has been played in Baltimore four times now - and has also been played here in Washington's Redskins Stadium. Suspect that most of you watched it and know what a good game it was - with both teams having injuries to some of their key players - yet they all were there cheering their lungs out. It was a bit chilly - however we were bundled up and standing much of the game to urge the team on to victory. Our class section this year had been moved back a bit from Rows 1 and 2 - to rows 12 and 13 - however the vantage point was fine. Don Hilbert was the only other classmate in that section with me - but some others may have sat elsewhere with other classes. Lynn (Sims) Lang was there with us in the class section along with her son - Richard Sims - Tom's youngest son. Lynn is a most loyal attendee at all the WP Home games and never misses the Army Navy Game. Hank Metz's son was sitting behind us and we enjoyed catching up on Hank and Mary Ann who had hoped to come - but the weather interfered.

A great day - great spirit - and great game - now we must do it again. See you in Philadelphia next year.

Robert A. 'Bob' Lang
Local Businessman and a Strong Community Advocate Robert A. 'Bob' Lang passed away at his home in Yardley on Monday, Oct. 15, 2018. He was 99. Bob was born on the family farm near Haycock Mountain, Bucks County, in 1919. At age 17 he moved to Yardley and lived with his sister. Soon after moving he obtained a job with Skillman Hardware. While at Skillman Hardware he learned to repair radios and then worked in the radio business. He became so interested in developing his knowledge that he enrolled in classes at Trenton Technical School (now Thomas Edison State College) on West State Street. His next employment was at The John A. Roebling Company, where he worked on improving advanced welding machines. Bob's technical improvements allowed Roebling to expand from 30 to over 400 of those machines while he was there.

During World War II, Bob served in the U.S. Navy from 1943 and 1946. He was stationed in San Diego and assigned to Fire Control Systems, working on Radar directed Gunnery Targeting aboard warships. This technological innovation was a component of victory in the war in the Pacific.

After Bob's World War II service, instead of returning to Roebling, he started his first business, a radio repair store on Stuyvesant Avenue in Trenton. In 1948, Bob moved to Yardley and opened an appliance store on Afton Avenue. The business was moved to South Broad Street in Trenton, where it became Bob Lang Appliances in 1951. Through a family passion, 1966 saw the opening of Lang's Ski n' Sport. Today, his son Bob owns and operates Lang's Ski 'N Scuba, with locations in Ewing and Newtown. Bob Lang Appliances took a new direction in 1985 under the creative inspiration and direction of his son, John, and became Lang's Kitchen and Bath, originally in Hamilton and presently in Newtown.

Mr. Lang spent a lot of time as a community advocate. As an active member of St. Ignatius Church in Yardley, he led the parish planning and building development of the then new church on Reading Avenue. As with St. Ignatius, he served as an original member of the Search, Development and Construction Committee for Grey Nun Academy. Mr. Lang, also worked with the Boys Club of Trenton (today, The Boys and Girls Club), where he was a member of the Board for over 25 years and served as President for part of that time. Mr. Lang took a very energetic and active roll serving on the Board of Trustees for AAA of Central N.J.. During the 26 years at AAA, he guided and directed the Board for three years as Chairman. Bob's most recent endeavor was as a member of the Board of Friends of the Delaware Canal. Because of his dedication to the project and with the help of his wife, Lynn, Bob was able to raise valuable funds necessary for the maintenance and planned projects for the Canal.

Mr. Lang was a 60-year member of Trenton Country Club, where he developed lifelong friendships. Son of the late Joseph and Theresa Lang, originally from Budapest, Hungary and later of Bucks County and Philadelphia, Mr. Lang was preceded in death by his wife, Barbara Worthington Lang; his daughter, M. Sherlene Wherry; and two sisters, Lillian Harney and Valerie King. He is survived by his wife of 30 years, E. Lynette Lang; his daughter, Barbara McMahon and Tom of Lake Frederick, Va.; two sons, Robert W. Lang and Marianne of Newtown and John A. Lang and Jennifer of Newtown; stepchildren, Elizabeth Sims of Juneau, Alaska, Thomas Sims of Morrisville, and Richard Sims and Chyrll of Hamilton; as well as numerous nieces and nephews. He was blessed with nine grandchildren and eight great grandchildren.

To Bob's many relatives and friends, his wife, Lynn, and children request prayers for Peace and to enjoy a healthy Toast of Southern Comfort (on ice) in his memory.

Friends are invited to call from 6 to 8 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 21, at the FitzGerald-Sommer Funeral Home, 17 S. Delaware Avenue (River Road), Yardley, Pa. His Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 11 a.m. Monday, at St. Ignatius Church, 999 Reading Avenue, Yardley. Burial will follow in St. Ignatius Cemetery, Yardley. The family suggests donations in Mr. Lang's name to: Friends of the Delaware Canal, 145 S. Main St., New Hope, PA 18938, or The Boys and Girls Club of Trenton, 212 Centre St., Trenton, NJ 18938.
