James Langan Obituary

To the Langan Family -

I had the pleasure of working with Jim and Shawn at the Tower. Jim was always there for me -- always! He will definitely be missed! Our thoughts and prayers are with you-all.

Sincerely,
Mingo & Peaches

Dear Shawn & Langan Family-

I am deeply saddened to learn of your father's death and troubled that I was not able to attend his wake. When I returned to work on Tuesday I went into the old Sears Fries/Walters office, where the three of us shared many good times together, and I observed a moment of silence. You know how I felt about your father Shawn: he was my work dad, my friend and coworker…we looked after each other dating back to 1987. In many ways, your father helped shape me professionally -- and for that I am truly grateful. Since you guys left the Sears Tower, I have missed the company of the Langan Team, but now the sense of finality hurts even more of course. I will miss running into your father, recently in fact, in the Sears bookstore. We had a good laugh that day and looking back on it…I am thankful fate gave us that opportunity to connect.
Please accept my condolences and know that I share in your pain and will always keep your father's memory alive…

Warmest Regards,
Mike Biede

Dear Maureen and Family~
We want to send our deepest sympathy to you as you mourn the loss of JE. My heart was always so warmed when I saw JE as a grandpa. It was so obvious that he loved his grandchildren dearly. I know that you'll always share that with each of them. They'll be so proud to have had such a loving grandfather. What a legacy he's left behind.

I just heard the other day that he was ill - my deepest condolences. I worked with Jim and Shawn at Sear's Tower. Jim went out of his way to help me many times - he was always pleasant to work with. I'm very sorry to hear this.

To the Langan Family:

Please accept my sincere condolences. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. As I'm sure all who met or knew Jim would say, he was a man for whom I had tremendous respect and admiration. While truly saddened by his passing, I'm comforted and proud to have had the opportunity and privilege to get to know and work with such a tremendous person. Men like Jim are very special.

Langan Family,
I am sorry to hear about Jim's passing. I have such fond memories of him. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Shawn, stunned to hear of your father's passing. Our deepest condolences for you and your family's loss. Jim was a great guy and was well remembered by those who were lucky enough to have met and worked with him.

Maureen Langan & Family:

My deepest sympathy on the loss of Jim. I was shocked to hear of his passing as I had just found out last week that he was ill. Jim was our electrician for many years at CRT/NationsBanc-CRT/Bank of America (440 LaSalle and Sears Tower). He was my buddy, a fellow Irishman, and I will miss him dearly. Jim used to let me hide out in the electricians room to sneak a smoke. Every time I saw him, he greeted me with "Uh, oh, here comes trouble" and he always spoke so fondly of HIS Maureen.

I am extremely sad to have learned of his passing this morning when I arrived at the office. He was taken way too soon and I certainly don't understand "the plan" when someone as hard working as Jim doesn't live long enough to enjoy the fruits of his labor. Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers and that Jim will always be remembered fondly by those of us who were blessed to have known and worked with him.

Please accept my sincere condolences. My heart greives for you. Jim will be missed. You, the family will be in my prayers.

To Jim Langan Family with a special note for Shawn - I am terribly saddened to hear about Jim and want you to know you are all in my thoughts and prayers. It was such a joy for me to get to know Shawn and Jim in our offices at Bank of America. Their relationship was always professional while at work, but their love and concern for each other was always there where you could see it and feel it and be touched by it. Jim had a smile and a kind word whenever our paths crossed and I am happy to have had the opportunity to know him.

Our Deepest Sympathy to the Langan Family,
The General Electric Sourcing/Finance Teams want you to know that our thoughts and prayers are with you right now. May they help your get through this tough time.

Shawn, I just found out today at work form Al. And wanted to pass on my deepest condolences On the loss of Jim. It was always a pleaseure to work with you guys for all those years. He will be greatly missed.

Mrs. Langan, Scott, and Shawn,
I just heard about your loss from Kimm tonight and I wanted to tell you how very sorry I was to hear about Mr. Langan. Unfortunately it's been quite a while since I've seen you all, but I wanted you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Cherish your memories always for they will bring you peace and comfort. Please know that I will be thinking about you and that if I could be there tomorrow I most certainly would.

Maureen & family, Dan, Mark, Phil & Aunt Bea,

Our hearts are broken along with yours at the passing of JE. I cannot fully believe it, so fast and over. We have been praying the rosary for the last few weeks as a family at home and our hope was high as was yours. Little did we know God's will. We all must accept that now and move forward.....very tough, but one day at a time and alot of prayer.

I have 2 fond memories of JE. One was his frequent visits to Sangamon Street to have a cup of tea with Aunt Chick after working all day as an electrician.

The other was his being my Confirmation Sponsor; I was in 4th grade; I was probably 10 yrs old. It never occurred to me until now that JE was 20 yrs old at my confirmation; a 10 year difference between us.

Please accept our sympathies during this difficult time. You are all in our prayers.

All our love & prayers,
Tom, Mavis and Family

To the entire Langan family,
While you and J.E. have been in our prayers the past several weeks, we ask our Lord to send His peace upon you now. May you feel His presence today and in the days ahead. We wish we could with you at this time, and we send our love and prayers.

Maureen & Family,
Words can not even express my sorrow. My prayers have been with you all this entire time. I will pray that God may comfort each & every one of you until you all meet in Heaven. Matthew 5:4
Love In Christ,
