Tom was born in Flint, Michigan on December 27, 1944, the son of the late Foster Roy and Gladys (Borgstrom) Langdon. On May 8, 1981, in Flint, Michigan, he married Mary J. Poli. This was the beginning of a lifelong partnership, where he was more than a husband, but was a best friend, a constant companion, and the steady heart of his family. Tom retired from the Buick Motor Division, but his work never truly ended. He dedicated his time coaching his daughters' softball teams and taking on the role of a father to many. He had a way of making everyone feel like family by being welcoming, supportive, and always present. Tom loved NASCAR, reading, and good conversation. He was also always up for playing a game of pool. A natural teacher, he never missed an opportunity to pass on knowledge, especially to his grandchildren, who often walked away with a new word. Tom was supportive in his family's faith journey, joining them in 2015 in their Catholic faith. He and Mary were devoted members of St. Mary's in Swartz Creek for many years.
Tom is survived by his wife of 46 years, Mary; children, Michelle Bobb, Angela (Craig Taylor) Jones and Brian (Sarah) Langdon; grandchildren, Danielle, Sydney (Shawn), Rhyan, Darian, Hannah, Alois, Matthew, Dakoda, Zachary, Emily, Jacob and Jessica; great-grandson, Hudson; extended children, Shawni, Alishea and TJ; extended grandson, Jack Marsh and extended great-grandson, Ace; sister, Carol (Vince) Schumacher; special cousin, Ruth Ann (Keith) Jordan and several nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his sons, Michael and Steven Langdon; parents, Roy and Gladys Langdon; parent-in-laws, Dale and Myrle Poli and sister, Kay Soule.
