We missed you and Allen at the recent Wildcat basketball games and I wondered why you weren't there. I am so sorry to find that Allen has passed away. Please know that Pennee and I, and my sons and daughter-in-laws, all are thinking of you, and miss both you and Allen.
Love,
Jack Schannep
I met Allen in 1970 when we were students at the University of Arizona in the Fine Arts Department. He was a very talented artist and was well liked by all. We also started dating around this same time. He was kind, caring, intelligent and had a great sense of humor! I was very sad to learn of his passing. My condolences to the Langer family.

Alan was a wonderful friend. And I will miss him greatly. I always felt like I could talk to him about anything and he was always there for me. Maryann you may miss him the most but I will also miss my friend. I hope you know that he was the very best person in my life. Lynda Hubat
Allen was a patient at our practice for over 20 years. I looked forward to seeing him. Enjoyed our conversations. He held a special place in ALL our hearts here. He will be missed.
Allen Langer was a nephew of my grandfather and a first cousin to my father. Over the last 15 years I got to know Allen more and more - he was a gentle soul and full of love. He ended every conversation with a warm “I love you.” - you felt it each time, because he meant it each time. I’m now taxiing on the airplane in Phoenix, Arizona after visiting Marianne and the extended Langer family. I went to visit Allen’s graveside this morning with my father and it’s hard to fathom that Allen is no longer with us. But although he is no longer with us physically, I know his neshama, his gentle soul is resting with those of his parents and brother in the next world. And I look forward to the day very, very, very soon where we will be reunited with Allen, Harold, their parents, my grandparents (Hershel and Hannah) and all those we dearly miss. We love you too, Allen. 😢
Over the last few days memories of Allen keep floating in and out of daily life activities. Remembering waiting in the school bus line with Allen and Harold, playing at each other's homes, sharing Shabbat. Our families were closely intertwined until our teens when Allen, Harold, Reuven and Esther moved to Arizona. We lived what we were: one family. Our Mother was Allen's Mother's sister. Thinking back on all the laughter, realizing that in Allen's early years he had to overcome many challenges and was determined to be his own man and enjoy independence in every way. I can see now that so much of the humor actually masked more 'hurt' in his life than we really knew. His ability to reach out to others with compassion and understanding was clearly a result of his own journey. In later years we lost contact and I regret that. Today I realized that I have cousins that I don't even know. Our family overcame great obstacles to come to America and make a better life for the children and grandchildren. I am deeply appreciative for the loving memories that Harold and Allen gave me and hope to live in such a way to keep those memories alive. It's comforting to think of Allen with his Mother, father, Harold, and my Mother and father and Hershel too - they are surrounding Allen with love, peace and of course, laughter. Those of us who have been lucky enough to know Allen are much better because we knew him - he made us realize an essential truth: 'don't settle for less-alway reach for the gold ring, that way the brass ring will be within reach!' Thank you Allen for being in my life and for your life example!
My father and stepmother had a long-time relationship with Allen as their financial advisor. I had heard Allen's name very often and always with the greatest regards. When my father and stepmother passed away last year, I finally had the great pleasure of meeting Allen, Freddie, and Sheila, as we worked through closing his estate. I now know why Allen was so highly spoken of by my dad. Indeed, he was a very warm and generous man. I was deeply saddened by Allen's passing and my heart and prayers go out to the Langer family from both my wife Joy and I. Keith Thorson Jr.
