Eugene Langemeier of North Platte peacefully passed away on February 27, 2024, at the age of 78.
Gene, the son of Harvey and Anna Mae Langemeier, was born October 6, 1945, at Osmond, NE, and grew up on a farm near Magnet, NE. He graduated from Wausa High School.
On November 29, 1963, Gene married Cheryl Plog in Wausa, NE, then went on to serve in the U.S. Navy. Following his discharge in 1966, Gene returned to his bride in Wausa.
The couple moved to Stapleton in 1972 then to North Platte in '78 where Gene worked 28 years with Hild Propane. He later worked for his son and daughter-in-law, Brad and Teresa, driving for Cornhusker Delivery (hauling supplies for Menards) and at the Laundry Zone. Gene liked working and socializing with customers.
If he wasn't working, Gene enjoyed pitching horseshoes, bowling, playing cards and fiddling in his garage. He was also a member of the V.F.W. Gene was a great husband, father and grandfather who leaves us with many wonderful memories.
He is survived by his wife of 60 years, Cheryl, and their children, Brent Langemeier, Brad Langemeier (Teresa) and Kim Richter (James), all of North Platte; grandchildren, Tara Schultz (Zach), Karsen Falcon (Jimmy), Kaden Langemeier, Braden Langemeier, Bryce Langemeier and Maylah Langemeier; great-grandkids, Greah and Boon Falcon and Rhiannon Schultz; his brother, Gary Langemeier (Janet) of Hemet, CA; sister-in-law, Diana Langemeier of Wayne; and numerous other family members.
