| Langley | Vernon Langley | The Toronto Star | 12/09/2005 | Bill Cook | Vernon Langley died August 3 in Toronto East General Hospital at age 74. Vernon Langley, 74: Lent a voice to addicts Counsellor `loved his clients unconditionally' Studied singing and piano before life took a turn Vernon Langley's rich tenor never rang throughout the great halls of Europe or even North America. He never flicked his tails as he sat down at a gleaming grand piano, as he may have once dreamed of doing when a musical lad growing up in Cape Breton. Instead he made a life, for a while, as a high-flying, hard-living executive with a Montreal pharmaceutical firm and then at a Toronto headhunting operation, filling his empty core with back-slapping nights doing business in hotel bars that rapidly blurred into days and nights of boozy cravings and a terrible addiction. But it was in this weakness that Langley found his greatness. Since 1975, he counselled and treated alcoholics and drug addicts. Thousands of them. He was so well loved and so respected that those who were returning for second and third chances at sobriety would ask for him. "Vern Langley was a man who never shamed, never judged. He loved his clients unconditionally," said Jeff Stein, executive director of Just For Today, a Toronto outpatient harm-reduction facility for clients facing criminal charges where Langley worked for seven years. "And if you have a counsellor who never judges you, you have a remarkable human being." Counselling addicts can be "a tiresome, tireless and tiring process," Stein said, yet he never heard Langley raise his voice. He was especially effective at counselling the cross-addicted and those with a bipolar condition. "Vernon would instil hope in them," he said. Langley was a tall, lanky man with a big presence, who dressed in fine suits set off by one of his collection of 100 silk ties, wore burnished Bostonian loafers, and radiated class as well as concern as he counselled — always with his eyes wide open — men who had been crawling on their bellies after hitting rock bottom. "He had a little office on the second floor," Stein recalled. "Most counsellors would have the clients go up to them, but Vern made a point of always coming down and escorting them up." Since 1975, Langley had also worked for Alpha House, a residence for men addicted to alcohol and drugs. "He was a beautiful human being," said Donna Westman, its executive director. The two of them often went to prisons to interview inmates. "He had a way about him. As soon as he said hello and smiled, the cons knew he was okay. They could tell he wouldn't judge them," she said. Langley grew up in Port Hood, N.S., kitty corner from St. Peter's Church where Sister Honora gave him his first piano lessons. His family attended the United Church in the pretty coastal town, where his father was a barber when he wasn't fishing. He was just a young teen when he began accompanying fiddlers on piano at church hall dances and kitchen parties. "He loved to sing and dance," said Marjorie Langley, who is married to his nephew and lives in Antigonish, N.S. "He played a mean piano at those house parties." After teaching in a country school on the Nova Scotia mainland for a year or two, he headed to Toronto to take piano and vocal training at the illustrious Royal Conservatory of Music. He sang with the Toronto Mendelssohn Choir for nine years and in church choirs for more than 40 years. "I still remember him telling me how someone made a snide remark to him about coming from Cape Breton," said Father Don Campbell, a lifelong friend who is a priest in New York City. The two grew up together in Port Hood and roomed in Toronto while going to school. "Vernon didn't drink when we grew up. There wasn't even a tavern in Port Hood then, and when we were students in Toronto we didn't have the money or inclination to do that. We had a good time without it." But that changed sometime after Langley left the music school, although his friends and family say they were never aware how big a problem alcohol was becoming to him. Even Campbell didn't know why or when his oldest friend joined Alcoholics Anonymous, but when Langley died — on Aug. 3 at age 74 in the Toronto East General Hospital — he'd been sober for well over 30 years. Another meaningful date was Aug. 15, 1980, the day he became a Roman Catholic. Langley's conversion may have been precipitated by the death of his younger brother, Orville, that year in a Toronto rooming house fire, but Langley had also made a habit of visiting Campbell in New York just before Easter every year, staying in a nearby hotel and attending several days of services at St. Paul the Apostle, a large church on Manhattan's west side. Campbell would buy them tickets to an opera at the Lincoln Centre after the Holy Thursday service. "He was drawn to the music of the church, but there was this spiritual dimension to him as well," said Campbell. It's very possible Langley would have become a priest as well, had he not already become an addiction counsellor. "Vernon had a calling. Vernon wanted very much to serve God. That was paramount and he considered being an ordained deacon," said Monsignor John Murphy, who met Langley in 1985. "But it may have occurred to him that that is precisely what he was already doing." In 1997, Langley was heading out for a lunch break on the Danforth, just outside the building where Just For Today was then located, when he collapsed. It was the first of a series of heart attacks that led to bypass surgery and a stint at Toronto Rehabilitation Institute before he could walk — and work — again. He kept on working until about a year before he died, continuing to come home to Nova Scotia every September. He moved into the Birtch Place Co-op on Queen St. E., a drug- and alcohol-free residence where he was a member of the board. It was here his family and friends gathered after his funeral. They had been ushered into St. Michael's Cathedral to the hymn "Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee" from Beethoven's Ninth Symphony as sung by a dozen members of the boys choir. "The music was beautiful," said Campbell, who celebrated the mass. Langley chose most of it before he died. Langley also asked Campbell to celebrate his funeral mass in Port Hood, which takes place Saturday in St. Peter's, the Catholic church across the street from the house where he grew up. He is being buried in the Protestant cemetery near his parents and brother Orville. | |||

Born April 16, 1932 in Sydney, N.S., on Cape Breton Island, Claude fell in love with the Rocky Mountains and made Calgary his home. Claude will be missed by his wife of 50 years, Sandra; his children, Mark (wife Terri, granddaughter Alex and grandson Tanner), Paul (grandsons, Blake and Ross) and JD (wife Jean).

He was predeceased by his parents, brothers and sisters from Cape Breton; Claude was one of 24 and grew up in the post-war Maritimes. With a series of scholarships, he managed to earn his way into College St. Anne for undergraduate degrees and then the University of Ottawa for medicine where he earned his MD and LMCC. His devotion to and love of medicine emanated from the loss of his mother at childbirth. It was this same love and devotion, but this time to the Rockies, that led to Calgary, where he built a diverse medical practice, in becoming Chief of Staff at the Holy Cross and Rockyview hospitals and teaching medicine through the University of Calgary. He and Sandra formed a loving family upon which a deep and broad base of friends evolved. His passion for the mountains led him into hiking, downhill and backcountry skiing. With family and friends, he worked his way through just about every hike there was in the Rockies. His passions in life were family, friends, medicine and the mountains. Funeral mass will be celebrated at St. Anthony's Catholic Church, 5340-4th St., S.W., Calgary, Alta., on Wednesday, Sept. 8, 2010, at 1 p.m. Forward condolences through www.mcinnisandholloway.com.
