Philip Lachance Obituary
Philip was born in Hartford and was single. Philip lived with his parents Gerry and Barbara Lachance, and he was a graduate of Fitch High School in Groton. He was employed for many years with Seabird Enterprise's and he worked as a waiter in Puffins Restaurant.
If you would describe Philip most would say he was a "Rock Star". He loved to dance, rap, bowl, and he was a gold and bronze medal winner for bowling in the Special Olympics. But he mostly loved his affiliation with his church. He had a secret goal to become a pastor and work with his mother. He loved all people and treated everyone with respect and dignity.
He was predeceased by his sister Gretchen, and is survived by her parents, Gerry and Barbara Lachance; his brother Paul Lachance, his wife Sarah and their two children Sawyer and Hunter; his sister Christine Carver, her husband Kevin and their two children Sidney and Caleb; and his sister Tracy his best friend.
Calling hours will be held from 4 to 7 p.m. Sunday, June 9, at the Norwich Worship Center, 165 Lawler Lane, Norwich. A Christian Memorial Service will be held at 11 a.m. Monday, June 10, at the Norwich Worship Center.
In lieu of flowers please donate to the ARC of New London, CT., 125 Sachem ST., Norwich, CT. 06030.

I will miss you Philip. You always smiled and you never forgot your friends. You always remembered that the Lord makes a difference in every situation. When you had the energy you danced or sang. When you got tired you took a break. To you life was simple: Be nice to everyone. I hope we can all learn this lesson that you just did every day of your life. Praise God.

Gerry and Barbara, I am so sorry for your loss. In many ways it seems like only yesterday that we were setting up your home and welcoming Philip and the others. Yet the years have passed and as a result of your love, confidence, and caring, Philip was able to become a young man who made this world a better place. May God bless you and your wonderful family in this time of profound loss.

What an absolute love Philip was. My life is richer truly for watching him love Jesus. His love was so pure and contagious. There are tears being shed all over the world for our loss of this precious life but there is a parrttteeee happening in heaven. I heard it said once I want to live so close to Jesus here on earth that I truly am not surprised when I see Him face to face but rather say ....oh Jesus I knew You would be just like this. Philip was not surprised by heaven. Im grateful to have known him. See you later pal!
