It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of
Donald Langis, 84, of Moncton, on Thursday, January 9th, 2025 at The
Moncton Hospital following a brief illness. Born in Moncton, he was
the son of the late Alphonse Delphin and late Yvonne (Daigle)

Dieppe and Christine Langis of Dartmouth, NS; one great-niece,
Jocelyne Belliveau of Dieppe; one great- nephew, Mason LeBlanc of

LeBlanc).
He received several diplomas B.A., B.Ed., Masters es Art in
teaching English as second language, Masters in theology, several
certificates in theology and Media Studies.
At a young age, he worked for various cinemas in Moncton.
This created an interest in movies and theatre. He travelled
frequently to New York to enjoy many Broadway and Off-Broadway plays.
With this passion, he attempted to open a francophone cinema in
Greater Moncton, a project that was never fulfilled.
He worked at l’ie Acadienne,
L’Évangeline newspaper as a journalist, followed
by a teaching position as the Director of English Department at the
Vanier high school then Mathieu Martin high school.
Never leaving journalism completely, he would publish a
weekly review of newly released recordings. He had an impressive vinyl
collection that filled our basement followed by DVDs and CDs to this
day.
He then returned to journalism as director of Information at
L’Évangeline daily newspaper followed by manager
of News Services Atlantic Region for Radio Canada until his
retirement.
Once retired, and never idle, he was Pastoral Diocese
Coordinator in the Moncton Archdiocese, President of the Moncton
Chapter for the Association des retraités
français de SRC, followed by Vice President of the National
Chapter (francophone) to President. He was also active in the
Ste-Thérèse-de-L’Enfant Jésus parish
in Dieppe as committee president, member of the Moncton Press Club and
former member of the local section International Journalism
