Donald Arthur Langrock
Sept. 26, 1932-June 11, 2026
Woodside, California

With deep love, we announce that Don Langrock, 93, passed away peacefully at his home in Woodside on June 11, 2026, surrounded by his wife Sherry, his daughters Leslie and Sheila, his son-in-law Ron, and his grandsons Collin, Sean and Trent.

Don served as a pilot in Vietnam, flying A-4 aircraft, and later flew for American Airlines. He was a passionate traveler, devoted flyfisherman, and avid hunter.

He also found great joy in teaching-first as a flight instructor in the Marines, then as a highschool teacher, and later as a softball coach for both high school and city league teams.

Don was known for his strength and capability, but those closest to him will remember his gentle spirit and kindness towards people and animals alike. His quiet strength and compassion left a lasting impression on all who knew him.

A rosary will be held on June 26, 2026 at 11:30 am, followed by a Funeral Mass at 12:00 pm at Holy Cross Catholic Church in Arbuckle. A celebration of life will follow at Granzella’s Banquet Hall in Williams, California.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Don’s memory to Semper Fi & Americas Fund, Field of Dreams Inc. or Ducks Unlimited.

He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered.
