J. David Lapp, 74, of 14 Circle Rock Dr., Ephrata, died Tuesday, March 10, 2015 at Lancaster General Hospital. Born in Kinzers, he was the son of the late John B. and Anna Augsburger Lapp. He was the husband of Janet E.

The family would like to give a special thank you to those dear family and friends who faithfully walked beside him in his journey.
