Frederick Lanshe Obituary

Frederick J. Lanshe Jr., 55, of Manayunk, PA passed away suddenly in his home on Saturday, June 13, 2020. He was the beloved son of Frederick and Bernice (Kelleher) Lanshe of Center Valley, PA. He graduated from Allentown Central Catholic High School (1983) and received his undergraduate degree in Accounting (1987) and Masters in Taxation (1993) from Villanova University.

Fred was employed as a Corporate Tax Accountant by Lincoln Financial Corporation in Radnor, PA where he was active in all of their charitable fundraisers.

Fred was an avid Philly sports fan and rarely missed attending Villanova basketball games with family and friends. He was known for his incredible wit and good-natured demeanor. He was always very generous and would be the first person to offer his assistance. He loved to travel and would spend every summer at the Jersey Shore.

He will be deeply missed by his family, many friends, and colleagues.

Fred is survived by his parents; brothers, Stephen (Marion) of Macungie; David (Ann) of Parker, Colorado; Michael of North Wales; and sister, Patricia Haines (Robert) of Harleysville. He was loved by his nieces and nephew who will greatly miss their "Uncle Fred".

At this time, a private funeral service will be held for the immediate family at St. Joseph's Church in Limeport, PA followed by a private burial at Resurrection Cemetery. A Celebration of Fred's life will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the American Heart Association. Online condolences may be made at www.weberfuneralhomes.com

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Lanshe,
My deepest sympathy goes out to you at this time. I worked with Fred for years at PMA, and was just thinking about him as I was updating one of the projects we worked on together. Fred was such an incredible human being! He was warm,generous, funny, thorough, and ALWAYS willing to lend me a hand on a moments notice. Memories of him will forever bring a smile to my face. I am grateful to you for the man you raised. He brought happiness to others' lives, and that is a gift none of us can repay. I pray that God brings you strength as you navigate these next few days, weeks, and months. May perpetual light shine upon Fred; may he and the souls of all the faithfully departed rest peacefully in God's grace.
