Robert G. Lang

 

November 19, 1926 ~ December 4, 2023

Robert G. Lang, 97, of Granger, passed away Monday, December 4, 2023. He was born November 19, 1926 in South Bend to the late Albert C. and G. Mildred (Robison) Lang and remained a lifelong area resident.

On July 11, 1954 in South Bend, Bob married the former Frances Wehrly, who survives. He is also survived by his daughter, Cheryl (Jim) Russell of Bargersville, IN; sons, Brad (Cyndi) Lang of South Bend and Alan (Kathleen) Lang of LaPorte; and seven grandchildren, Lauren Skelton, Christopher (Amanda) Lang, Alex Lang (Britney), Andrew (Emily) Lang, Kristen Lang, Michael (Catlin) Russell, and Kari Russell; as well as three great grandchildren, Gideon and Lydia Skelton and Benjamin Lang. Bob was preceded in death by his brother, James Lang.

Bob served his country honorably in the United States Army during the Korean Conflict where he was awarded a Purple Heart. He worked as a photoengraver in the printing industry until retirement. Bob was a lifelong member of Zion Community Church, where his grandfather was a founding member. Inquisitive and outgoing he was eager to engage in conversation with everyone he met. He loved to fish, spending many of his younger days at a family cottage in Michigan and on yearly fishing trips to Wisconsin. For many years Bob and Frances volunteered at Memorial Hospital, South Bend, where Bob was always quick to give a kind greeting and have a friendly chat.

The family thanks Beacon Granger Hospital staff for their attentive care and compassion.

A celebration of life will be held at 2:00 Saturday, December 23 at Zion Church, 211 S St. Peter St, South Bend. Palmer Funeral Home is assisting with arrangements.
