Larry Lee Frey, born on December 19, 1946, in Allentown, Pennsylvania, departed from this world on October 6, 2024, leaving behind a legacy of artistry, love, and family that will forever echo in the hearts of those he touched. He spent 35 glorious years as a master jeweler, where the glimmering stones and precious metals became extensions of his creative spirit. With every new project, Larry transcended the ordinary; he had an unparalleled gift for transforming mere inspiration into tangible beauty. If you showed him a picture, he would not just recreate it—he would reimagine it, pouring his passion and skill into every piece that bore his mark.

His journey through life was accompanied by his devoted wife, JoAnn Frey, with whom he shared more than 40 years of unwavering partnership. Together, they built a tapestry of love marked by laughter, challenges, and triumphs. Larry's heart thrived in the embrace of his six children, who brought joy and richness to his life. Some were born of his blood, while others he welcomed into his fold through adoption or as a stepfather, each child a unique treasure woven into his narrative.

As a grandfather to six (+4) and a great-grandfather to one, Larry found joy in the simple, cherished moments—stories told to wide-eyed grandchildren, celebrations that rang with laughter, and quiet evenings spent sharing wisdom. His family, an ever-expanding circle of love, was the heart of Larry’s being, and his impact on their lives will resonate through generations.

Larry’s legacy is one of craftsmanship and compassion, of a man who saw potential in raw materials and in the people around him. As he took his final bow in the warm embrace of Pompano Beach, Florida, he left behind more than just memories; he gifted the world with the brilliance of his artistry and the warmth of his love. In every shiny jewel and in every shared moment, Larry Lee Frey will remain alive in the hearts of those who loved him most.
