Passed away peacefully on Thursday, November 5th, 2026 at the I.O.O.F Seniors Home at the age of 73 years. Loving husband of Lois Langthorne (née Sarenchuk) for 54 years. Predeceased by their son Christopher. Dear brother of Thomas Langthorne and the late Robert Langthorne. Brother-in-law of Jane Sarenchuk, Launie Geraghty (Peter) and Ardith Bridge (Geoffrey). Proud uncle of Andrea Hardy (Warren), Aaron Langthorne, Christian Langthorne, Matthew Geraghty (Meg) and Emily Geraghty. Will be missed by extended family members and dear friends.
Throughout his life, he took great pride in his work, completing four electrical apprenticeships and dedicating over 25 years of service to Ontario Hydro. A talented and hardworking man, he also built three homes over the years, in Nova Scotia, Waubaushene and Bruce Mines. He had a deep appreciation for the outdoors and especially loved spending time in the North, whether duck or deer hunting, fishing, boating or simply enjoying nature and his beloved chipmunks. Known for his warm personality and wonderful sense of humour, he loved sharing a laugh and bringing a smile to those around him. Above all else, Lois was the love of his life, his everything, and held the most special place in his heart.
A visitation with light refreshments will take place at the Steckley-Gooderham Funeral Home 30, Worsley St., Barrie on Monday, November 9th, 2026 from 11-1 pm. A private graveside service will take place at the Barrie Union Cemetery, 338 Sunnidale Rd., Barrie.
