Arthur Sheridan Langlie ’52

Art died of a stroke May 24, 2002, at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. Still active in his law practice, he learned from his children that he had won his final case the day before he died, because his opponent had not appeared. His memorial service was in University Presbyterian Church, where he had served for years as church-school teacher and member of the board of deacons.

Art continued the tradition of public service set by his father, a three-term governor of Washington. A member of Dial Lodge, he graduated with honors in politics. He enlisted in the Coast Guard and served three years in the Pacific; he retired from the Reserve in 1980 with the rank of captain.

Art and Jane LeCocq were married in June 1953. After graduating in 1958 from the U. of Washington Law School, Art clerked for a year in the US Court of Appeals, ninth circuit. He then began a 43-year career in general and corporate law.

In addition to Jane, Art is survived by his children, Karin, Emily, and Arthur, and six grandchildren, to whom we offer our deepest sympathy.
