Georg was born in Germany June 6, 1941 to parents, Emil and Ursula. They immigrated to Canada in 1953, settling in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Georg served from 1959-1961 with the Queen’s Own Cameron Highlanders of Canada. In1961, he enrolled in the Canadian Airforce, where he started his new career as an avionics technician. He was transferred to CFB Cold Lake, where he met his wife, Marie and they started a family. In his service with the Canadian Airforce, he was posted in France and twice in Germany. Georg retired from the military and settled with his family in Calgary, Alberta. As a civilian, Georg continued his career as an avionics technician with Field Aviation. In his retirement he enjoyed playing 55+ hockey, watching his grandchildren play hockey, attending IOOB meetings, telling dirty jokes, MacGyvering things, spending time at the Legion and talking politics. One of his greatest joys in life was tending his plants and gardening.

No farewell words were spoken
No time to say good bye,
You were gone before we knew it
And only God knows why.
Our hearts still ache in sadness
And secret tears still flow,
What it meant to lose you
No one can ever know.
But now we know you want us
To mourn for you no more,
To remember all the happy times
Life still has in store.
Since you’ll never be forgotten
We pledge to you today,
A hallowed place within our hearts
Is where you’ll always stay.
Nos plus sincères sympathies à la famille et aux amis de Georg Langenau November 26th 2020..
