Russell Hall Langstroth Obituary.
Published by the South Florida Sun Sentinel, Fort Lauderdale, Fla. on Jan. 3, 2022, page A10.

Russell Hall Langstroth entered eternal life on November 22, 2021.

Russ was born March 2, 1946 in Greenwich, Connecticut. He moved to Coral Gables, Florida with his family at the age of 11. He was in the 1964 graduating class of Coral Gables Senior High and attended Florida State University where he was awarded a full Tennis Scholarship. He graduted in 1968.

Upon moving to Fort Lauderdale in 1972, Russ became "self-unemployed" founding Langstroth Mortgage Company. He worked up until his death because he found great pleasure and a higher calling in helping people attain and/or maintain their housing dreams.

Russ had a 3-foot rule: whenever he came within a few feet of others, he gregariously would speak to them. He never met a stranger. His family, extended family, personal friends, business associates, clients were all considered "friends."

Russ is survived by his wife of 45-years, Wendy, two special sons: Kenton and Blair (Andrea), three precious granddaughters, sister: Lorraine Wagor (Tom), brother: Leland Langstroth, and nephews: Patrick Wagor (Lindsay) and Stephen Langstroth.
