William Charles Langston Sr., 50, was born Dec. 11, 1958, and passed away in the early morning hours on Tuesday, Dec. 1, 2009. As my father's daughter, I know that if he had the chance, these are the words he would say in parting: "To my darling wife of 24 years, Lydia Ockman Langston, you are the love of my life. You made me the man I am today, a man I hope you were proud to call your husband and the father of our children. To my son, William Charles Langston Jr., you have made me prouder than you will ever know. No father could ask for a better son. Give Heather Bentivegna Langston, my daughter-in-law, a kiss and always treat her right. To my daughter, Evangeline Alanna Langston, Daddy's baby girl, I have not abandoned you. Just wave when you pass over a bridge and know I'm waving back. To my stepdaughter, Melanie Howell Foreman, her husband, Tommy Foreman, and my four grandchildren, Layla, Morgan, Elizabeth and Johnny, I'm watching over you. To all of my family: I know you'll cry. I know you're sad, but I'm home now with my maker and protector. I love you and will miss you. One day, I'll welcome you home, too." Also lovingly survived by his mother, Annie Juanita Langston, 79; two brothers, Carl Benjamin Langston Sr. and Donald Langston; two sisters, Carolyn Langston Athey and Catherine Langston Thomas; mother-in-law, Helen Price Ockman, 79; and many nieces, nephews and in-laws.
