| 78 | 3 | Nov, 2022 | LANG, E. RUSSELL 'RUSS' | 423RD, I CO. | 6/24/2022 | E. Russell Lang was born on August 1, 1921, in Torrington Connecticut to his German immigrant parents John Lang and Olga Kiesel. The youngest of eight children, he was considered the baby by his siblings, all of whom helped raise, care and provide for him even through the depression era. He graduated from Torrington High School in 1939, after which he met his life-long love, Lillian Yurco while working as an apprentice machinist at the Union Hardware Company. The young couple loved to drive around in an old Chevy borrowed from an older brother, picnicking at local lakes, listening to big band music on the radio and singing duets together. Russ and Lil"s carefree courtship was interrupted by the attack on Pearl Harbor and the entrance of the United States into WWII. Like every eligible young man at the time, Russ registered for military service, hoping to become a navigator with what was known at the time as the Army Air Force. He tested well, in fact so well that he was assigned to the Army Specialized Training Program (ASTP) and sent to Auburn University in Alabama to study Mechanical Engineering — the thought being these skills would be needed to help rebuild Europe after the war. The relative safety of ASTP ended when the Army canceled the program and the students were put into basic training to bolster infantry ranks. By December 1944, Russ found himself with the 106th Infantry Division, stationed on the Belgian/German border in the Ardennes Forest, in what they were told was an area “not likely to see action” since the enemy was bogged down far away on the Eastern front. Ten days later, the Germans launched a massive attack now known as the Battle of the Bulge. The inexperienced troops were bombarded and encircled. They attempted to make it back to Allied-held positions but when munitions, supplies and food were expended two entire regiments, 7000 men, were forced to surrender. They were marched to a rail station, packed into cattle cars and shipped to the Stalags where they spent the rest of the war starving as POWs. Years later, Russ wrote a book, “Captured at the Battle of the Bulge,” derived from a secret diary he kept while a prisoner about his experience. For those interested, here is a link to the book: amazon.com/s?k =Captured+at+the+Battle+of+the+B ulge+by+Russ+Lang. But, if you knew Russ Lang, you knew that he was neither defined nor haunted by what happened in the war. Far from it, he was always one to make the best of every situation, even when the situation was pretty good to begin with. Reunited with Lil, they fulfilled their plans, marrying and moving to Hartford CT, where he worked at Pratt and Whitney as a tool maker, a critical job for the accurate production of aircraft engine components. Shortly after the arrival of their first child Laura, Russ heard of a company by the name of IBM that was looking for talented engineers to help build something called a computer in their new manufacturing plant located in Poughkeepsie, NY. He jumped at the opportunity, ignoring nay-sayers and relocated his young family to the pleasant little town in the heart of the beautiful Hudson River Valley. Russ loved Poughkeepsie and thrived at IBM, advancing through the ranks of engineering management and retired in 1985 after a very successful 35-year career. During that time, two more children joined the Lang family, Cynthia and Russell. All three kids could not have asked for a better father, a gentleman who led by example with unwavering integrity, kindness, compassion and just the right amount of loving sternness. Russ enjoyed many recreational activities including, skiing, hiking, scenic drives, traveling, family vacations at Loon Lake, Lake Winnipesaukee and Cape Cod, making wine, designing things and in general working with his sturdy hands. You can still see the stone wall he built rock-by-rock without mortar at the family home on 47 Pleasant Ridge Drive. He was instrumental in saving from demolition and then relocating a historic chapel from the runway approach at Dutchess County Airport to Bowdoin Park in Wappingers Falls, where he taught school children about native American life and demonstrated maple syrup production. Russ was also active with the 106th Division Alumni Association, attending annual reunions with his wife where he happily reconnected with many of his comrades, most notably his POW bunk mate. But his favorite pastime was sailing. Rivers, lakes, oceans, small boat or large, at the tiller, trimming the sails or just along for the ride there was nothing he loved more. Rest assured if you see a sailboat, Russ Lang is on it in spirit, smiling from ear to ear. The retirement years were good to Russ and Lil and they lived happily in their Poughkeepsie home, traveling in and out of the country and spending time doting on their grandsons. As time marched on, health concerns prompted a move to assisted living in Massachusetts near their son. Lil passed away in 2012. Tragically Laura was lost to Covid in 2021. Russ"s last move was to the Bedford MA Veterans facility in 2018. Right to the end he kept his positive attitude, treating his caregivers with respect and receiving loving care in return. Russ passed away peacefully in his sleep on June 24, 2022, just five weeks short of his 101st birthday. If you are reading this, you are likely one of the multitude of souls Russ touched during his 100 years on earth. Truly we have lost one of the greatest of the Greatest Generation. It"s sad, but also brings joy, knowing that he has moved on to his very just reward and is reunited with his wife, his daughter and all the other loved ones who have gone before him. And finally, we can honor him by learning from him. Be positive, make the best of it, live up to your word, care about other people and give a little love. Reported by Janet Wood | |

Born in Chicago on July 22, 1922, he lived in that area until relocating to NC in 2011. Oliver lived a long, amazing life full of love, adventure, and success. From the battlefields of WWII to the labs of Gilette, his smile and humor made his 5"5” statue much bigger in presence. Through all his years earthside, family always remained his priority. He married the love of his life, Philomena, in 1951 and celebrated life every day with her (even though they could never agree on how many years they had been married). He enjoyed cooking five-course breakfasts and spent countless hours hanging out at parks and pools so that his grandkids could play (and he could finish his latest book). He was the beloved husband of the late Philomena Libman; loving Pops of Claudia (Mike) Thompson and Andrew (Marie) Libman; loving brother of the late Robert (Florence) Libman and Henry (Charlotte) Libman; grandfather to five grandchildren, nine great-grandchildren, and two great-great-grandchildren; son of the late, Felix and Martha Libman. The family would like to thank the staff at Sunrise Senior Living of Cary who took great care of him in his final days. And to all his friends that shared in his final hands of poker. For all those who would like to celebrate a life well lived, visitation will be held at Apex Funeral Home on Monday, February 5 at 10am followed by a service at Wake Memorial Park mausoleum. Family asks that, rather than flowers, in honor of Oliver"s dedication to those less fortunate that you donate to St. Jude's Hospital or Southern Poverty Law Center. | https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/apex-nc/oliver-libman-11648223 |

| 71 | 3 | Nov, 2015 | LORENZ, LAWRENCE R. | 423/HQ/3 BATT | 1/4/2015 | Lawrence Robert Lorenz was born August 24, 1924 and passed away on Sunday, January 4, 2015 at the age of 90 years. He struggled in his last years with dementia, ultimately passing as a result of an arterial aneurism. Lawrence, “Larry,” was born to Lenore and Edward Lorenz in Detroit, Michigan. Larry was the older of two children. He was a WW II Veteran and in 1943 he graduated high school early so he could enlist in the Army rather than wait until June. At one point Larry volunteered for a transfer to the Air Corps, but this transfer was short-lived as our nation"s immediate need was for trained infantrymen. So Larry was assigned to the HQ 3rd Battalion, 423 Infantry. On December 19, 1944 after three days of intense combat, the 423rd was captured by enemy soldiers. The men were forced to march to a railhead where they were transported during heavy Allied bombing campaigns to prison camp Stalag IV, more commonly known as Slaughterhouse Five. Larry"s determination to survive and assist other soldiers during captivity and mistreatment has been a prominent characteristic of his personality throughout his long distinguished life. Upon returning home from the War, he attended Notre Dame and earned a two-year Mechanical Engineering degree. While employed at Detroit Arsenal, he met Evelyn (McIntosh) while carpooling. They married on May 26, 1951 and spent the next 63 years together. Together they had five children and were also blessed with seven grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.
