LANGFORD, CARROL "DAVE" D.

[br][br]On October 27, 2015 we lost our incredible father, grandfather, great-grandfather and friend, Dave Langford. Born on December 20, 1929, dad was always the hardest working, honest man you could ever know. As the former owner of Al's Schwinn Cyclery, Dave first began his career in the bike business in Los Angeles, CA where he was born and raised. In 1975, he and his wife JoAnn moved the family to Spokane where he had been stationed from 1948-1952.
Dave and JoAnn married in 1949 and spent 58 years together until her death in 2007. Their 5 children include Kevin, Rita, Mary, Katie and Jill, all of Spokane.
Dave "retired" from the bike business in 1995 and came to work with his daughters at Green Gable Children's Center. For the last 6 years he has worked at Pacific Park Children's Center again with his family. He found great joy working with & seeing his kids & grandkids everyday.
Along with his 5 children and their spouses, Dave is survived by his 10 grandchildren, 7 great-grandchildren, best friends Sue and Wil Trautman and many wonderful friends and neighbors. We will always be grateful for the friends and "family" at Pacific Park who stepped in to help so we could be with dad at the end of his life.
We will forever miss your unfailing faith in all people, your wicked sense of humor and your ability to make a friend wherever you went. We cannot adequately express what an incredible example you were as a husband, father and friend, and we can only hope to carry on the legacy that you have established & make you proud.
Dad had 3 loves in his life, family, dogs and airplanes (not always in that order), so we ask that you donate to Spokanimal or Honor Point (air museum) in lieu of flowers. Services will be held at St. Anthony's Catholic Church on Saturday, November 7 at 11:00am.
