L.B. Langston passed away on November 21, following a lengthy illness. He was 84. A long-time resident of San Francisco and former executive with Crocker Bank (now Wells Fargo), he was born in San Antonio Texas on May 7, 1923, to Lonnie and Lois Whitaker Langston. Both pre-deceased him.

His brothers, Roy, David, Elisha, are all deceased. Roy�s children are Jimmy of Arizona, and Suzie Newton of Montana, and Roynell, who is deceased.
