Robert "Bob" N. Langdon

Robert N. "Bob" Langdon, 77, of Fultonville, passed away August 19, 2026 after a courageous 20-year battle with multiple myeloma. Bob faced every day with an unbelievable amount of fight, resilience, and strength. He was born May 2, 1949 in Amsterdam, the son of Robert W. and Marjorie Gillis Langdon.

A lifelong local, Bob graduated from Fonda-Fultonville High School before earning his Associate’s degree in Business Administration from Fulton-Montgomery Community College in 1972. Always looking to grow and excel, he later pursued continuing education in management at Cornell University.

Bob was a natural leader and an exceptionally hard worker who simply did not sit still. Professionally, he dedicated his career to the Price Chopper Golub Corporation, starting in 1973 and remaining with the company until his retirement. Over the decades, he managed multiple stores across the state and proudly served on the Northeast Fresh Food Alliance board of directors. He took immense pride in the many leadership and management positions he held, approaching every role with ambition and drive.

Beyond his career, Bob believed deeply in giving back to his community. He served his local community as a member of the Fonda-Fultonville School Board, guided youth as a dedicated Boy Scout leader, and was a proud, active member of the Glen Reformed Church.

In his personal life, Bob was a talented and proud woodworker; every piece he crafted bore his own custom stamp. He was also an avid outdoorsman who loved hunting, fishing, and spending time in the woods. Above all, his greatest joy came from sharing those passions and teaching his children and grandchildren the beauty of the outdoors. Bob was a "doer" in every sense of the word—ambitious, active, and deeply devoted to the people and places he loved. He will be profoundly missed by his family, friends, and all who knew him.

Bob is survived by his beloved wife of 24 years, Nancy Persse Langdon whom he married in June of 2002; two sons Brian (Lisa) Langdon and Robert C. Langdon; and when he married Nancy, he gained another family - Katie (Kevin) Bowler and their children Matthew (Kasandra) Bowler, Emma (Kyle) Bowler, and Caleb Bowler. He is also survived by his siblings Linda Galpin, Kathie (Clayton) Carpenter, Joyce Langdon, and James (Nancy Gray) Langdon; granddaughter Caylie Langdon; sister-in-law Nancy Langdon; brother-in-law Tom (Paul) Persse; as well as several nieces, nephews, and several great nieces and nephews.

He was predeceased by his parents, Robert W. and Marjorie Langdon; first wife Pamela Langdon; brother David Langdon; sister Carol Langdon; and brother-in-law Albert Galpin.

The family will receive relatives and friends from 12:00PM to 2:00PM Friday, August 28, 2026 at Betz, Rossi, Bellinger & Stewart Family Funeral Homes 15 Main St, Fultonville where a Funeral Service will follow at 2:00PM with Pastor Thomas Flander, Jr. officiating.
