Herbert Langwallner

Ruhe in Frieden, lieber Onkel Herbert.

Ich verdanke dir sehr viel. Du hast mich eingeladen, als ich 15, 16 und 21 Jahre alt war – nach Irland, nach Athlone, ins Prince of Wales Hotel. Jeweils sieben Wochen durfte ich bei dir und Tante Mai verbringen. Später war ich mit meiner Familie noch zweimal in Dublin. Für mich war das eine neue Welt. Ich begegnete außergewöhnlichen Persönlichkeiten und erlebte Dinge, die mich bis heute prägen.
Mit Tante Mai durfte ich sogar das Parlament in Dublin besuchen – wir wurden damals vom Premierminister Irlands empfangen. Sie brachte mir bei, wie man sich in der sogenannten „besseren Gesellschaft“ zu benehmen hat. Neben der Verbesserung meiner Englischkenntnisse gewann ich in dieser Zeit ein sicheres Auftreten und Selbstvertrauen, das mich mein ganzes Leben begleitet hat.
Dafür danke ich dir von Herzen.
Mein tiefstes Mitgefühl gilt David, Andrew und der ganzen Familie.
Die Zeit in Irland mit dir, lieber Onkel Herbert, bleibt eine prägende Erinnerung – ein Stück meines Lebens, das ich nie vergessen werde.

A legend

Dear David and family,
Word just reached me of your father’s passing. Bereavement and grieving are not a matter of a few days, but of months and years, and I wish you strength on that journey. I remember Herbert as a man of quiet dignity. I’m sure that this quality helped him through life to the very end - and I trust that the memory of it will also help you.
Best wishes,
Anthony

A Great Uncle . Uncle Herbert will take that charming smirk now back to Aunty Mai.

We always referred to Uncle Herbert as "Herbie" My friends always referred to Uncle Herbert as the "matinee idol" owing to his great looks. He was always generous and fun growing up. Adored our Aunty Mai, as she did him. They built an exciting life together and many of our family have lovely memories being hosted by them in the various hotels down through the decades. Devoted to Andrew and David, Michele, Kieran and Grace. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam. Ruhe sanft

So sorry to hear this. Mr. Langwallner was a wonderful mentor to me as I started my career in hospitality at the Prince of Wales hotel in the early 70’s. Deepest sympathy to his family. Rest in Peace.
