Philip J. Lanigan, age 71, of Shrewsbury, passed away Dec. 1, 2023, surrounded by his family
He was born March 20, 1952, in Waltham, Massachusetts. He graduated from Red Bank Catholic High School. Phil was co-owner of Lanigan Associates, Inc. in Tinton Falls for over 40 years.
He was predeceased by his daughter Valerie Danielle and his parents, William and Dorothy Lanigan. Phil is survived by his wife Elizabeth; son Christopher (Mollie) and granddaughter Parker Quinn Lanigan; sister Kathleen Kocen of Fair Haven; and brothers, William (Kathy) Lanigan of Dryden, New York, John Lanigan of Oak Hill, Virginia, and Joseph Lanigan of Shrewsbury. He also has numerous nieces and nephews.
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.
Relatives and friends attended a graveside service Dec. 8 at Mt. Olivet Cemetery, Middletown. A repass followed at the family home in Shrewsbury.
In lieu of flowers, please donate to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital at stjude.org.
