He migrated to the United States in 1919 with a trade of printing. He learned English from the Webster Dictionary.  Joseph met Marion Tanner when she was age 17 while residing in Michigan and two weeks, just after turning 18 married. They learned to thrive through the Great Depression due to their Judeo-Christian ethics.    Marion, whose mother died giving birth to her, was adopted by a paternal uncle and aunt due to her biological father not being able to care for her properly.  She grew up in a loving environment and for a brief time worked as a practical nurse. The Langevin family then having three sons and one daughter, packed up and moved from the harshness of the winters of Michigan to sunny California.  Joseph being a hard-working, innovated entrepreneur began to expand his core values of hard work, being thrifty and honest, avoiding debt, establishing a future for his family/wife and beyond and social consciousness.  Joseph and Marion saw the value of being self-employed and real estate ownership. They had several real estate holdings, that rented modest, clean units to individuals under the national poverty level.  They continued to reside and thrive in California, optimizing opportunities.  After multiple chronic illnesses, Joseph died at the age of 73 in1978 and Marion continued to expand the family values until she died at age 90 in 2000.
