Edwin Maxner Langevin, 63, a lifelong Concord resident, died Thursday, Oct. 29, 2009, at Concord Hospital.

He was born Jan. 1, 1946, in Concord to Edwin R. and Dorothy (Maxner) Langevin. Ed graduated from Concord High School in 1964 and continued his education at Bentley College in Boston, graduating in 1968, but not before meeting his soul mate, Elaine Sabbia, who would become his wife of 42 years.

He first started working as an accountant for Bigelo in Manchester in 1968. He remained there until 1972, when he began his own accounting practice.

Ed had been a lifetime HOG member since 1992. He also held a lifetime membership in the National Rifle Association and belonged to the Sunset Mountain Fish & Game Club. Over the years he enjoyed giving his time to the Boys & Girls Club, where he served a term as president from 1988-89. Ed was a member of the New Hampshire Society of Accountants.

He enjoyed many hobbies, including gardening, bicycling, hunting, fishing and scuba diving, and he had a passion for cooking. But his true loves were his family and his motorcycles. His two granddaughters were the joy of his life, and he took pleasure in his time as an assistant softball coach for their team. He also always found time for all their other activities, such as skiing, skating, biking and anything else they could come up with.

A beloved husband, devoted father, nurturing grandfather and friend to all, Ed is survived by his wife, Elaine (Sabbia) Langevin of Concord; his son, Matthew Langevin of Concord; a daughter, Bridgett Beckwith and her husband, Scott, of Concord; two granddaughters, Sammy and Brooke LaRochelle of Concord; three brothers, John Langevin of Tampa, Fla., Charles Cosseboom of Epsom, and Richard Cosseboom of York, Maine; a sister, Barbara Barton and her husband, Larry, of Epsom; and several nieces and nephews.

He was predeceased by a brother, Wayne Langevin, in 2000.

A memorial service will be held Monday, November 2 at 5:00 p.m. at the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, 48 Airport Road, Concord.

In lieu of flowers, please send memorial donations to Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis, c/o Arthritis Foundation, 6 Chenell Drive, Suite 260, Concord 03301.
