Shrewsbury resident, Philip J. Lanigan, passed away on Friday, Dec.1, surrounded by his family. He was 71.

“Phil was a man of endless humor and always had a smile on his face. His love of golf was short lived here on Earth but he will surely make up for it now. He will be forever missed by
his family and friends.”
