George and Pat Langlois marked
60 years of marriage with a special
celebration at the Huron Fish and
Game Club in Clinton.
It was on July 12, 1958 that
Patricia McPhail, the daughter of
Winifred and Hugh McPhail of
Copper Cliff, married George
Langlois, the son of Joseph and
Cecil Langlois of Sudbury.
The wedding took place at the
United Church in Copper Cliff and
Rev. Hillier presided over the
ceremony.
Pat's attendants were her sisters,
Mary Bradshaw and Betty Glew,
while George's groomsmen were
Willy Galapo, Connie Quenville and
Joe Goegan.
For their honeymoon, George and
Pat went to Niagara Falls, which, at
the time, was the honeymoon capital
of the world.
After living in Sudbury for some
time, the family would eventually
settle into their new home in
Brussels before moving to Clinton in
recent years.
George spent years as a
hairdresser in Brussels, where he
became known as "George of
Brussels". Pat was also a hairdresser
for several years, though she had a
varied work life, owning several
businesses and working many jobs
before finishing her career at
Cinnamon Jim's in Brussels before
retiring.
Pat dedicated herself to raising
their daughter and also spent time as
a photographer for The Brussels
Post.
George and Pat had one daughter,
Susan. They have three
grandchildren, Curtis, Maurissa and
Brent, and three great-
grandchildren, Kate, William and
Ivadelle.
Over the years, both George and
Pat have been very active members
of their communities, especially as
members of the Brussels Optimist
Club, of which George was the
charter president.
George is a winner of North Huron
Publishing's Citizen of the Year
Award for his work throughout the
Brussels community in 1992. He
started the intramural slo-pitch
tournament and intramural hockey in
the village, while Pat was a
gardening enthusiast who also
enjoyed ceramics.
Both George and Pat have served
on the Brussels, Morris and Grey
Recreation Board and Pat currently
sits on the Connecting the Dots
healthcare board. Both greatly enjoy
spending time with their family.
George and Pat have taken on the
roles of Santa and Mrs. Claus in
Brussels and other parades for
several years. They have also played
these roles at local schools, nursing
homes OneCare and the Hill St.
Christmas Eve celebration every
year.
Their 60th anniversary celebration
took place at the Huron Fish and
Game Club in Clinton with over 150
family members and friends in
attendance.
Both of Pat's sisters were able to
be part of the celebration, as were
plenty of friends from Brussels as
their children,
and great -
well as all of
grandchildren
grandchildren.
George and Pat have celebrated
every milestone anniversary since
their 25th. They had a wonderful
time with their friends and family
and they look forward to celebrating
