Christopher G. Lynch

Christopher Gerald Lynch, 72, of York PA, formerly of Allentown PA, passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on December 19, 2022, after a short battle with cancer. He was the loving husband of the late Anne M. Lynch. They were married for 47 years last August. Born in Valley Stream Long

Island NY, on January 25, 1950, he was the son of the late Christopher and Dympna (Daly) Lynch. He moved to Lahinch Ireland when he was 11 and Ireland quickly became his home.

His gift of helping others started young with his first job as a lifeguard on the beach in Lahinch. Christopher continued his love of helping others by pursuing a career in medicine. He went to medical school at the University of College Dublin where he met Anne. After moving to America with Anne in 1979, he obtained his medical degree from Stanford University. He then moved to Allentown with his family and began his long career as a beloved physical medicine and rehabilitation physician (physiatrist). Christopher loved his family, his profession, helping others, and last but not least, golf. His golfing days began as a caddy at the Lahinch Golf Club. He went on to win several championships at the club and his love of the game continued throughout his whole life. Christopher worked hard throughout his life and career to take care of others who were in need. He retired from medicine in 2011 to

take care of his beloved wife as she battled early onset Alzheimer's. His love for her never

faulted and he took care of her until the end. Christopher is survived by his three children, four grandchildren, two brothers, and one sister. Jennifer and Joshua Trolley, along with Caylie and Emmie, reside in Havertown PA. Damien and Michelle Lynch, along with Liam and Keenan, reside in York. Jason and Rebecca Louden reside in Allentown. Brian Lynch resides in Canada, Terrance Lynch resides in Ireland, Rose and Noel Tobin reside in Ireland. He was preceded in death by his sister, Marie Therese. Family was everything to Christopher and he was everything to them.
