Robert B. Long
Bob Long, beloved husband, dad and grandpa passed away July 30, 2004. He was born January 22, 1922, in Oak Harbor, WA. At the age of four, he moved with his family to Everett where he spent the rest of his life.
Graduating from Everett High School in 1941 with a keen interest in electricity, he went to work at Boeing in the pneumatic tool repair department. During World War II he served in the US Navy as an electrician's mate aboard the USS Chester. Bob went to work at Judd and Black as an apprentice in December 1945. As the business grew he took on added responsibilities in the company, eventually leading to the position of manager. He purchased Judd & Black in 1975 with the premise that his sons would take over the business and in December, 1986, after 41 years with the company, Bob retired, knowing that the store was in capable hands.
Bob's retirement was a happy time. He was excited when the Everett Giant's baseball team came to Everett. He enjoyed helping wherever he could and was called out of his seat many times to repair something electrical. He enjoyed his summer cabin at Tyee Beach on Camano Island, fishing, crabbing and communion with his neighbors. He was always available to help wire, repair or even dig a ditch.
Bob believed in giving back to the community for all the blessings he received from them. He often remarked he would never move from Everett because when he walked down the street he would meet so many friends. He was very proud of being honored with the Henry M Jackson Distinguished Citizen of the year in 1984 for the numerous contributions that he made to the community.
Bob was a long time active member of Trinity Lutheran Church in Everett, Everett Elks and The Everett Exchange Club. He was a proud member of the IBEW for 58 years. He was a resident at Sunrise View Convalescent Center for 11 months. The love and compassion that he and his family received from the staff was heartwarming. We will cherish the memory of not only the physical care but the emotional care as well that they offered.
Bob will be sorely missed by his loving wife of 61 years, Sue; children Barb Lamoureux, Bob Jr. (Cheryl) and Bill (Berneva) Long; Grandchildren, Aaron and Michelle Lamoureux, Christian and Samantha Lamoureux, Bobby Long and Tessa Widen, Cory and Kandice Long, Michael Long, Jeni and Bryan Mehaffey, Tacea and Jamie Wall, Jolene and Igor Braga, and Chandra Long; Great grandchildren include Taylor, Adam and Madison Long, Timothy Mehaffey, Delaney, Alex and Lily Lamoureux, Nick Widen and Chase and Magge Wall. Bob leaves his sisters Georgia Leckvold and Lola (George) Walmer and brother Lorry (Peggy Neilsen).
He was predeceased by mother Hazel Henneman Long; father and stepmother, George and Vivian Long; sisters Lucille (Frank) Miller, Della (Dick) Kirkland and Lois (Ralph) Hatfield; and many cousins, nieces and nephews whom he loved dearly.

William G. Langdon
William G. Langdon, after 79 years of loving service to others, died peacefully at home in Langley, on Whidbey Island August 2, 2004.
Bill was born October 8, 1924 in St. Paul, Minnesota. He graduated from the University of Washington in 1949 with a bachelor's degree in business administration. During Bill's time as a Husky, friends Jack and Gail arranged a blind date with a certain beautiful Tri-Delt named Carolyn. Bill was immediately smitten and married Carolyn on July 6, 1950. Carolyn likes to joke how she went to the U.W. for her MA but meeting Bill altered her goal, and she left the UW for her MRS.
Bill was hired by Hemphill Brothers as a salesman in 1953. His loyal, hard-working character advanced him to vice president and chief financial officer before he retired in 1987.
Bill and Carolyn were devoted parents, raising four children in the community of Shoreline, where they attended Bethel Lutheran Church. Bill, an Eagle Scout himself, stayed involved in scouting with his boys Lonnie, Scott, and Reed; and was a doting father to his daughter Melanie. Bill enjoyed sporting events of all kinds -- watching his children in Little League baseball, football, swimming, cross country, and track; or watching Husky football and Mariner baseball. Bill especially enjoyed time spent with his family at their vacation home on Whidbey Island, where he took up the hobbies fishing, clamming, and crabbing.
After Bill's retirement, he and Carolyn chose to move their permanent residence from Shoreline to Whidbey Island. In his retirement, Bill stayed highly active, continuing to give generously of his time, talent, and resources. Volunteering for Bayview Senior Center, he served on the board of directors for six years. He also offered free tax preparation, insurance advising and "taxi" service for other seniors. In Bill's "spare" time, he became an avid golfer, so it was only natural that he founded their annual golf tournament.
Bill was a loyal and devoted family man and husband, caring for Carolyn as she has faced the onslaught of Alzheimer's Disease. They were committed Trinity Lutheran parishioners, where Dad served as finance chairman. Bill is survived by his wife, Carolyn; his eldest son Lonnie, daughter-in-law Joan, grandchildren Jason and Megan; son Scott, daughter-in-law Marilyn, grandchildren Kyle and Erin; son Reed, daughter-in-law SuChin, grandchildren Reed and Jin; and daughter Melanie Kreiger, son-in-law Keith, and grandsons Colin and Luke.
Services will be held at Trinity Lutheran Church in Freeland on Thursday, August 5th at 4 p.m.
Winnie Boersema

She was preceded in death by sisters Cornelia Boersema and Elsie (VanWeerthuizen), and brothers Cornelius and Herman.
