Langille, Roland “Wayne” – Age 70 years of Port
Hood, Inverness Co, passed away peacefully at home, as the sun came up
on Saturday, October 27th, 2018 surrounded by
his loving family. Born in Tatamagouche, he was a son of Mary Kathleen
(Fullerton) Hooper and the late Roland Alexander Langille and also
predeceased by stepfather, Robert Frothingham Hooper. He is survived
by his loving wife, Janice (Langley); daughters, Laura (Gary); Leeanne
(Pierre) both of Halifax; grandchildren, Sebastian, Easton, Emmerson
and Nicholas; brothers, Colin (Yvan ) Montreal, PQ; Gregory (Sandra),

Hawkesbury; Debora Langley , Fort McMurray, AB; nieces and nephews,
Sarah, Rebecca, Jessica, Alyson, Morgan, Gavin, Gina, Mark, Kendra and
Luke; and many special grand nieces and nephews.
Wayne had a happy childhood in Tatamagouche, with summers at
the cottage in Malagash. The Langille/Fullerton cousins had a great
bond and in later years always managed to have a summer reunion
“at the shore.” Wayne’s family moved to Port
Hawkesbury in the early 60’s where he attended school,
played hockey and made lifelong friends. He worked for his
father’s Chev dealership and loved taking the new cars out
for a spin. Part-time work at the Pulp Mill and delivering oil allowed
him the funds to purchase his first car, a blue Pontiac
convertible.
He studied the Plumbing and Pipefitting trade at NSIT in
Halifax and became a proud member of Local 682, serving as a respected
board member. He was an active member and trustee of St
Stephen’s-Jubilee United Church. He worked all over Canada
and the US but when he was home, he gave all his energy into being a
loving Dad and husband. Wayne enjoyed photography, gardening and was
never without a project on the go! He always found a new passion and
did not stop until he mastered it. He was an energy conservationist
and lover of nature. Wayne was very interested in forest management
and was happy to serve on the board of North Inverness. He was ahead
of his time in many ways and loved the challenge of reinventing
systems.
The welcome mat was always out at his home as he shared
stories with young and old in the garage, on the deck, and by the fire
pit. Wayne was a true friend to many and never missed a
chance to drop in for short visits. He was very fond of his home in
Port Hood, the beach, the wharf, the lobster and the people. He was a
music lover and from the days of the transistor radio to the present
he was always playing the tunes.
Visitation will take place on Thursday, November 1st, from
2-4 and 7-9 p.m. in Port Hood and Area Resting Place. A Celebration of
Life will be held in St. Stephen’s-Jubilee United Church,
Port Hood at 11a.m. Friday, November 2nd with
Pastor Maggie Plant officiating. Burial will take place in the Union
Protestant Cemetery, Port Hood. In lieu of flowers, donations may be

Stephen’s-Jubilee United Church or charity of your
