Visit the Legacy Remembers website to view the full obituary.

After 84 years on this earth Gary Sr conducted his last demolition job and broke through the gates of heaven. Gary was a demolition expert and the owner of Langos Corp. Prior to his industrious demolition career he raced cars and chased his first wife Patricia with whom he had four children, Gary Jr (Julie), Steven (Lily), Rick (Melanie), and Jill (Rob). Gary will also be remembered affectionately by Nick and Pat Staten, his stepsons, whom he raised. Grandchildren: Steven Jr., Scotty, Darick, Luke, Frankie, Stephanie.

Gary is also survived by Sister Gail, second ex-wife Sherry, and last but not least his wonderful caretaker Tamara.

Lovingly known as the “old man” he passed away at home. Gary will be remembered for teaching his children right from wrong, instilling a pronounced no nonsense get the job done attitude, and his brilliant mind for business. He had a soft spot for cats and birds, which he could name on sight: Robins, Blue Jays, and Cardinals, he could identify them all. He would want us to know he lived life on his terms.

Those waiting in heaven to welcome him or yell at him are his parents, first wife Pat, third wife Debbie, and anyone else he may or may not have exasperated.

We love you, and will miss you Gary, rest in peace “OLD MAN”.
