Paul H. Langlois, 71, of Sanford, passed away peacefully with his family by his side on Wednesday, Feb. 19, 2025, at Maine Medical Center in Portland. He was born in Sanford on May 18, 1953, to the late Leo and Lorraine (Cookson) Langlois. A lifelong resident, he graduated from Sanford High School and went on to build a fulfilling life in his community. He spent most of his career at Pratt & Whitney, retiring from there in 2017. Outside of work, Paul was a devoted family man, supporter of youth sports, and a beloved coach. An avid golfer and a talented pool player, he also took great joy in cheering on his favorite New England sports teams, especially the Patriots and Red Sox. Above all, Paul was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather. He was selfless, always putting others first, and caring for those he loved. His legacy of kindness, laughter, and love will live on in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know him. Survivors include his wife of 45 years Patti Langlois of Sanford; his daughters Jamie (Brian) Cloutier of Kennebunk; Robyn (Joshua) Howe of Sanford, his son Ryan (Niki) Langlois of Sanford; three grandchildren, two sisters, Elaine Bluck of Portland and Jeanne (Dan) Sullivan of Gorham, and a large extended family.
