AL has left quite a Legacy for his son Norm to continue.
Norm has been running the business for years and the quality has endured.
Only Deli to ever win the James Beard Award.
Still the Best Pastrami Sandwich anywhere.

I hope Mr. Albert J. Langer finds that the pastrami in Heaven is even better than what he created for us mortals!

Personally, I think Chow.com should send a big wreath to the funeral. Langer's has given a lot of Chowhounds joy!

Or perhaps someone could send this thread to his son.
