Obituary of Roy Langham
Langham: Roy
Roy Langham passed away peacefully on Saturday, July 13th, surrounded by his loving family.
He was a cherished husband, brother, uncle, and friend, and his warmth and kindness will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
Roy is survived by his devoted wife, Juliana; his brother, Trevor (Lynn); his sister, Jean (Gordon-deceased); and sister-in-law, Sylvia. He adored his nieces and nephews, including Stephen (Deb), Natalie (Rob), Lee (Helen), Russel (Jayne), Sarah (Gary - Deceased), Gemma (Simon), Nathan (Kari), Matthew (Hailey) as well as his great-nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents, Millicent and Charlie; his first wife, Iris, and his beloved nephew, Andrew.
Born in Nottingham, England, Roy met and married Iris, before moving to Canada together where he worked at Superior Machine and Tool. After losing Iris, Roy found a second chance at love with Julianna, and their bond grew stronger with each passing year. They became nearly inseparable, sharing joyful moments, laughter, and adventures together, traveling whenever they could.
Roy will be fondly remembered by his friends at the Royal Canadian Legion and the Moose Lodge, where his infectious laughter and bubbly personality brought joy to everyone around him. He had a remarkable ability to connect with people, leaving a lasting impression on all who crossed his path.
To have met Roy was to love him. His generous spirit and genuine warmth touched the hearts of many, creating a legacy of love and friendship that will endure.
