George R. "Sparky" Langhoff

George R. “Sparky” Langhoff, age 81 of Willoughby, formerly of Mentor, passed away Tuesday, February 4, 2025 at home with his family by his side. He was born March 11, 1943 in Cleveland. Mr. Langhoff was the Owner/Operator of Mil-Rich Mobile Park, Mentor. Sparky enjoyed boating, bocce, hanging around with his friends at the yacht club, his house in Florida and going to Hooter’s. He belonged to the Slovenian Club and the Hungarian Club. He also enjoyed spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Out of 42 Commodores, Sparky is the first of only two members that has served 3 years (1995, 1996 and 2004). He is number one on the seniority list. I think it's safe to say that if it weren't for Sparky and a few others like him, WRYC would not exist as we know it. Sparky knew every nut, bolt, pipe, the location of every electric cable, and everything there is to know about that club, and he knew exactly how to fix it if it were broken. And if he wasn't fixing it himself, he was involved somehow! Sparky was also very instrumental in the negotiations with Riverbend Marina when the property was purchased from them 25 years ago. These accomplishments haven't even scratched the surface, To say Sparky will be missed is a huge understatement. Sparky was the father and protector of WRYC and a great friend to EVERYONE. Survivors include his wife of 62 years: Patricia “Pat” A. (Lunato) Langhoff; children: Kimberly A “Kim” (Michael) Snyder, John Langhoff, Gary (Meredith) Langhoff and Michael (Darcy) Langhoff; grandchildren: Michael Jason Snyder, Ashley (Michael) Jankovich, Matthew Snyder, Cory (Hayley) Langhoff, Lauren (Caleb) Staudenbauer, Gabe, Josh, Alexia, Stella and Emma Langhoff, Michael (Morgan) Langhoff, Angelina (fiance: Alex McGillis) Langhoff, Cliff Reinhardt and Cayla Langhoff and great-grandchildren: Braxton, Noah, Finn, Brooks, Aliana, Logan, and Cameron “CJ”.
