Payson B. Langley ’45

Bunky Langley died Dec. 31, 2013.

He prepared for Princeton at the Kingswood School in Hartford, Conn. He joined Tower Club and received his engineering degree in 1944 and then saw service with Army Headquarters, Western Pacific, in Manila, serving as a clerk to the commanding general.

Bunky then entered the insurance business, becoming an Aetna representative in Hartford briefly. But after marrying Louise Pool in 1950 he was recalled for a year and a half of service with the Army in the Korean War, including six months in combat areas.

He then returned to Aetna as branch manager in eight different locations, starting with Washington and Rochester, N.Y., before ending up in Bedford, N.H., in retirement, with a winter rental on Marco Island, Fla. He was justifiably proud of having earned a Chartered Property and Casualty Underwriters designation during his long, successful career.

Bunky and Louise spent several decades in retirement as he enjoyed fly-casting for trout, salmon, and bass in New England and Florida — when not agonizing or enjoying upbeat moments regarding the fate of the Red Sox.

Bunky is survived by Louise; his son, Andrew; daughter Laura; and two grandsons. The class expresses its sympathy to the family.
