Life Legacy
Earl Rueben Lang
August 20, 1936 – July 23, 2010
With heavy hearts we are sad to announce the passing of Earl much loved husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, cousin and friend. Earl left us after a long battle with colon cancer, surrounded by his loving family. He joins his wife Marie who predeceased him in March 2009 and whom he missed dearly. We are happy to have the two of them together again as they both wished to be. Earl is survived by his children and their families, Linda, Lloyd, Russ and Karlea Gathercole, Wanda, Tim, Matt and Paula Benini, Darcy, Agnes, Thomas, Scott and Rebecka Lang, and Tena, Lorne, Marina and Kolt Wagers. He is also survived by his brothers, Ray (Joy), Ivan (Marg), Marvin (Lois) and brother-in-law Lawrence. Earl was predeceased by his sisters Bernice (Bill), Artis and his parents Andrew and Katie. Earl was born in Olds, Alberta and worked at Atco Gas as a Foreman of Engineering and Construction. He raised his family in Calgary and retired with Marie to their farm in Raven, Alberta in 1993. Here he was content to tend to his land and his animals and spend time with family and friends. He loved to travel and see the world. He was a very devoted family man and we will all miss his guiding presence. A Celebration of Earl’s life will be held on Thursday, July 29, 2010 at 1:00pm from the Innisfail United Church. (4720 48th Ave.) In lieu of flowers donations may be directed to the Alberta Cancer Foundation c/o Tom Baker Cancer Centre 1331 29 Street N.W. Calgary, Alberta T2N 4N2.
