Herbert S. Fry, 87

Herbert S. Fry, 87, of Luther Acres, passed away at Lancaster General Hospital, Monday, December 20, 2021 and now joins his dear wife, parents, and many others who have gone before him, in heaven, with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Born in Lancaster County, he was the son of the late Mahlon and Anna Fry. He was the loving husband of Nancy R. (Frey) Fry who preceded him in death in 1987. He then became the longtime companion of the late Winnie Mosemann who died in 2018.

A 1952 graduate of Manheim High School, Herbert went on to serve in the US Army from 1957-1959, where his tour of duty took him to Germany. Following his honorable discharge, he worked as a billing clerk for Intelligencer Printing. Herbert was a lifelong member of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, Lititz, PA.

Herbert loved his family and enjoyed spending time with them. Every night, he spent his pastime watching Jeopardy and the Wheel of Fortune.

Herbert is survived by his children: Susan L. Shaub, wife of Stephan, of Lititz, and Steven M. Fry, of Manheim; grandchildren: Matthew L. Shaub, of Lincoln, RI, Jessica L. Newswanger, Lititz, and Jonathan L. Shaub, of Elizabethtown; great-grandchildren: Andrew, Kayden, and Kirsten Shaub and Destiny and Aaliyah Newswanger; brother, James B. Fry, husband of Carole, and many nieces and nephews.

Susan and Stephen you have my deepest sympathy. I worked with your Dad, he was a kind, humble man not to mention always a gentleman

My condolences to Herb’s family.  I worked with Herb in the Business Office at Intelligencer Printing Company.  I remember Herb as a very nice and friendly co-worker.  I never hesitated to ask him a billing question and he always patiently explained the answer.  Rest in peace, Herb.
