LANGFORD, Frederick Folden
October 19, 1942 - April 20, 2015
With sadness we announce the sudden passing of Fred, age 72 at Foothills Hospital. Fred was born in Drumheller where he lived all his life. He was the oldest child of Roland and Telma Langford. He worked as a bricklayer, first with his father, uncles Leonard and Bud, and brothers Larry and Ross. When his father retired, he and Ross established their own business. Many buildings in Drumheller and the surrounding area are a testament to their skill. In 1988 Fred started work in the maintenance department at the Drumheller Penitentiary, until his retirement in 2003. As a young man, Fred enjoyed hunting, then again in later years with his son Roland and brother Ross. After Fred retired he could be found almost daily prowling the grocery stores and comparing prices. If you wanted to know what was on sale where, you had only to ask Fred. Fred lived in Sunshine Lodge the past two years and was very appreciative of the care and kindness shown him as a resident there. He was predeceased by his parents, and brother Larry Folden. He is survived by his daughter Jordanna (Geoff), his granddaughter Havanna, his son Roland, their mother Frankie, his brother Ross (Edie), sister Gaye (Brian), nephews Mitchell and Kalen and niece and nephew Paula Astra and Grant Folden. In Fred’s memory donations may be made to the charity of your choice.
