Langhammer's grandfather was Franz Langhammer, a socialist councillor in the Sudetenland region of Czechoslovakia. Franz Langhammer was forced to flee the country when the Nazis invaded in 1938 and he opted to move to Northern Ireland as he felt his background as a printer would help him to obtain work in the then thriving textile industry. His cousin and boyhood friend Michael Stewart was killed in the September 11 attacks, being on the 91st floor of the North Tower of the World Trade Center when the plane collided.

Famous quotes related to personal life:
