For those of you who knew and those who didn't know **** Lang.....KNOW THIS>>>The car guys, cruisers, enthusiasts have lost a great ambassador and friend. Richard "****" Lang was one of the truest men I have ever met and broke bread with. **** would literally give you the shirt off his back if COG ran out of giveaway shirts at an event. He was tireless in his dedication to his family and COG. He never stopped smiling whether it was 40 or 100 degrees. **** was instrumental in introducing COG to CICCI and was the first to mention joint ventures as a way to help an upstart club and revitalize an established one. He made you feel welcomed and appreciated. **** took nothing for granted and gave more time and attention to his family and friends than any person I have ever known. **** truly believed that if you were having a good time in his presence, he was doing his job. My heart is heavy with sadness at the passing of **** but my mind is delighting in the experience and guidance **** gave me, and the "smile" he never failed to share. **** was a fighter and he proved his worth during his recent health battles. He never pitied himself and promise to fight to the end. I "knew" **** Lang and I have no doubt he did just that. He passed away yesterday after an intense battle with cancer. My condolences to the Lang, COG and CICCI Family.
