5 years later you are still loved and remembered for all the good memories and laughter you brought into my life ❤️

5 years later and it still hurts. I miss you

Another year has passed and it gets no easier. It's still hard to believe that you are not here. I miss you so much, and will always hold your name up high. I love you.

Three years have passed and it seems just like yesterday. Man I miss you

2 years later and I struggle with the reality that the man who raised me, whom I consider my father is gone. I never got the opportunity to say thank you. It is because of my father (PIP) I have siblings. For people who struggle to forgive others, please know it’s not worth never having the opportunity to say I love you and lets start new. I love you Dad.

Happy Birthday pops, it's just not the same without you.

Christmas just ain't the same without being able to tell you "Merry Christmas".
Merry Christmas Pops

It's been one year and it has not gotten easier for me to get over the lost of my Dad. Happy Birthday Pops. I miss you so much.

My brother, its been so long, It seemed my world shifted. I realized I never would see you on this side.I have missed our friendship so much. Never got a chance to thank you for being my friend. You, Mike & Me , 3 the hard way. There are times when I really needed to reflect back on the old days. You & Mike helped me to figure out some hard life lessons. Love you big guy. you will never ever be forgotten. I'm reminded of this song, It was a hard day without you, but I'll tell you all about it, when I see you again. peace brother. Paul.

Did you know?

As a child, Robert C Lang was given the nickname Pip. it was short for pipsqueak.
 
As a teenager, Robert was a lifeguard at Taylor Park and taught many kids how to swim.

As a high school student, Robert was a bass drummer at L. B. Williamson High School. He later became the most popular drum major the school ever had. He graduated from Williamson in 1977.

After high school, Robert attended Carver State Technical College where he earned a certificate in Brick Masonry. He was the first in his family to complete a college curriculum.

Robert had a mouth and could cuss like sailor. Others had to tread softly when talking to him. At the same time, he had a heart of gold an
and loved helping others. He was crazy about his family.

Robert left Mobile, Alabama in 1982 and moved to California where he resided until the end of his Earthly journey. He worked as a shipping clerk for a large electronics distributing company.

Most importantly, Robert was a Christian.

I will always remember you being there for me as a child and growing into adulthood, you will always be a huge part of my life. I saw our picture when I had a UCLA shirt on but you would've been proud to know that I earned my Masters at USC "go Trojans". I will miss you I know you're in a better place. Kiss my brothers that are in heaven, you finally got to meet your sons that didn't make it to this world. While I'm still on Earth I will keep my relationship going with my sister Porsche, my brothers Chris, and Cricket (as you call my big brother). Through my relationship with them I will find peace in this world. You will always be my dad. I love you.

I was truly touched by the 10 years that Robert & I shared in matrimony. He was a very romantic & attentive husband. He kept a strong work ethic and made sure all of his obligations were secured. Robert helped me raise my daughter from age 7 until adult. My daughter Nicole, is extremely grateful to have been blessed with his presence & leadership over our family. Robert & I experienced many joyful times together, like the Lakers 3 peat wins! Walks along Hollywood Blvd & Venice beach. We also experienced the Northridge quake together and were able to laugh that only his cologne bottle fell & broke! Lol. Robert once got his truck stolen! I told him to calm down & I would take him to work. After I dropped him off , I called the police to report the truck stolen and told the police officer to make sure he called when found. The officer laughed @ me & told me, "Are you aware that you live in the San Fernando valley & many cars are stolen, yet few are ever located?" I got off that phone & prayed to ask God to find that truck, as we could not afford that kind of hardship. Well, the next day that same officer called & told me they had located that truck & that it was not driven far, since it ran out of gas! Lol The officer was beyond amazed.. However, we know that God is an awesome God, especially, to those who truly trust and believe in him.....I know, but it is hard to squeeze ten years of knowing & loving someone to just a few lines....And lastly, most do not know that during our marriage , Robert and I experienced 7 miscarriages! The joy now in knowing those children are united with him is very comforting ... I will always love and adore Robert, reflecting on our pleasant memories, and being grateful for our paths crossing....

What a wonderful brother. Just too cool. As long as I am alive, he will never be forgotten. I love and miss you already, my brother.
