I have sad news to report on the passing of Richard M. Langworth, yesterday, in San Francisco at the age of 83. Richard was the editor of The Packard Cormorant Magazine from 1975 to 2001, putting out 101 issues. Later this year, the 200th issues of TPC since Richard took over as editor (the 3rd Quarter 2025 issue), will be published, and will include a tribute to Richard.

For more information on Richard, and his rich life, please read the tribute to him by his son, Ian, at the website:richardlangworth.com/in-memoriam

Hello all, I have never met Mr Langworth but I have been reading articles written by him in various Publications since I started into Packards in 1966. The fact that he was awarded a CBE from a foreign (and dare I say "John Bull" country) is testament to his credentials as a very important Scribe of Automobilia and of course the enigmatic..Sir Winston Churchill, He was the Political glue which held Britain together through the dark times of WW11. Ian's Tribute is spot on and a very special picture on details of his dad's life. A life well done Richard and may you greet St Peter at those Pearly Gates with a new "uncirculated" Packard to drive around in. ( probably on Hydrogen of course).
