Horace E. “Bud” Latshaw Jr., 82, of Chester Springs, passed away peacefully on Wednesday September 4, 2019 at his home surrounded by his loving family.

Born on September 12, 1936 in Phoenixvil­le, he was the son of the late Horace Edgar Latshaw Sr. & Helen Page Latshaw, and the loving husband of Elizabeth (Rigg) Latshaw for 60 years.

Bud was a 1954 Graduate of Downingtow­n High School. After graduation he enlisted in the United States Army where he was stationed in Panama. After his discharge he opened his own barbershop in Phoenixvil­le better known as Bud’s Barbershop, which would become a staple in the Phoenixvil­le community for over 50 years.

In his spare time Bud enjoyed spending time at many local Phoenixvil­le organizati­ons and firehouses as a social member, there were very few places that he did not frequent in the Phoenixvil­le area. Bud was also a dedicated Philadelph­ia Phillies and Eagles fan, and there were very few games that he missed; but most of all he enjoyed spending time with his family, he was a loving husband, father, grandfathe­r, and a dear friend to all and he will be missed by many.

In addition to his loving wife, he is survived by his two daughters, Susan L. Cohen, wife of the late Neal Cohen, and Kelly Fox, wife of the late Kevin Fox; four loving grandchild­ren, Ryan Cohen, Gregory Cohen, Dylan Fox, and Taralee Fox.

In addition to his parents he was preceded in death by his three children, Cheryl Rich, Andrew Keith Latshaw, and Thomas William Latshaw; and his two siblings, Charles Latshaw, and Mazie Seiple.
