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.
