MIKE LANGLEY, 60, has died. The popular, long-time resident of the Anderson Valley, died from a heart attack at a Chico restaurant. He had been in failing health since 2008 when he suffered a stroke. Mike had been living part-time in Butte County, part-time at his old place on Anderson Valley Way, Boonville. Mike and Patti Langley, and their daughter Beth, were my neighbors for thirty years. Good neighbors, too, undoubtedly better neighbors than my raucous crew deserved. We attended their family gatherings, they attended ours. Mike was a wonderful raconteur whose stories about The Valley’s many vivid personalities were always fascinating. I also knew Mike’s parents, Denver and Zola, for many years. Mike’s passing is truly a death in the family, a death also felt by many people beyond the Anderson Valley who remember Mike and Patty’s always witty Trading Time show on KZYX. A memorial service will be announced.
