Edmund Roy Langille
1935-2020
Langille, Edmund
Roy, Age 84, formerly of Eight Island Lake, Guysborough
County passed away Saturday, January 4, 2020 in High-Crest Sherbrooke
Home for Special Care. Born in Isaac’s Harbour, he was a son
of the late Almon and Edith (Cooke) Langille. Dad began his
working days on the « lake boats » on the Great Lakes in
Ontario before taking a job at the Terrance Bay Pulp Mill. He then
moved back to Nova Scotia to begin a career in the forestry industry.
Here he worked with various logging companies before starting his own
company, E&R Langille Contracting with his eldest son Ronald,
of which he worked until he retired. Dad was an avid
outdoorsman, enjoying many days and nights at his camp at Tom Mann
Lake. Some of his favourite pastimes were scuba diving, trapping,
hunting, snowmobiling, and fishing. He loved his home on Eight Island
Lake where, if you stopped in for a visit, you would find him sitting
by the window watching the lake and the wildlife that surrounded it.
Dad was a well-known storyteller; even as he aged his ability to
captivate a room never faltered. He is survived by his former
wife, Patricia Fenton; sons, Ronald (Laurie), New Glasgow; Darren
(Jacquie), Thorburn; Craig (Cathy), Antigonish; daughter, Darlene
(Michael)Trail, B.C.; sister, Mariea (George) Stewart, Country
Harbour; brothers, Barry Stone, Dartmouth; Harvey (Karen) Stone,
Yarmouth; 8 grandchildren; 11 great-grandchildren; 1
great-great-grandchild; several nieces, nephews and their
families. He was predeceased by his longtime companion, Lynne
Alexander; daughter, Lisa; sisters, Bernice Salsman, Annette Hayne,
and Ruby Pitts. The Langille family would like to thank the
staff at High-Crest Sherbrooke Home for Special Care for their
outstanding care of Edmund during his time there. Visitation
will be held Wednesday from 2-4 and 6-8 p.m. in G.W. Giffin Funeral
Home, Country Harbour. Interment will take place at a later date.
Family flowers only please. Memorial donations may be made to
High-Crest Sherbrooke Home for Special Care. Funeral arrangements are
