John S. Langer's Obituary
John S. Langer, 83, passed away peacefully at his home in Charlotte, North Carolina, on October 4, 2025, surrounded by the love of his family.
He was born on July 11, 1942, in Buffalo, New York, to the late Genevieve (Gugino) and Stanley Langer. John was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, and uncle whose kindness, love, and laughter touched the lives of all who knew him.
John is survived by his loving wife of 50 years, Nadine Langer. Together, they shared a life filled with love and laughter. From their early days in New York to their time in Florida and finally settling in Charlotte, John and Nadine walked hand in hand through life’s joys and challenges, sharing amazing adventures along the way.
He is also survived by his four treasured children: John Langer Jr. (Lori), Cheryl Dybalski, Jenn Rosalino (Carlos), and Emily Langer (Bri). John was most proud of his ten precious grandchildren: Tim, RJ, Meagan, Ryan, Michael, Madeline, Daniel, Sydney, Alex, and Chris. His greatest joy came from watching them grow, celebrating their accomplishments, and creating lasting family memories together.
John is additionally survived by his dear sister, Mary Stanek (Dan), and his two wonderful nieces, Michele Stanek (Robert) and Lori Llano (Mark), with whom he shared many special times.
John found happiness on the water, whether cruising on his boat or soaking up the sun on the beach. He loved camping in his RV, family adventures, movies both classic and spooky, and a good game of pinochle. He was best known for his warmth, humor, and unwavering devotion to those he loved.
Before dedicating his professional life to a long career at Verizon, John held various jobs across different industries. He retired as Manager of Emerging Technologies with a specialty in fiber optics. In addition to his career, he gave back to his community as a proud volunteer for the American Red Cross.
John’s legacy lives on through the cherished memories he created and the love he shared with his beloved wife and family. He will be remembered always with deep affection, endless gratitude, and much love.
