Larry Friez entered into eternal rest, welcomed into Heaven by his son Tad Friez, his parents Theophil and Ruby Friez, and his brother Les. He is survived by his beloved wife Arlis, his daughters Becky Kitchen, Shelley Badinger (Myles), and Stacey Perry (Bill), and his sister Diane Schwab (Dave). Larry was a proud grandfather to nine grandchildren, a great-grandfather to fifteen great-grandchildren, and a great-great-grandfather to two great-great-grandsons.

Larry had a deep personal relationship with God and was devoted to his faith, serving as a member of The Gideons International. His commitment to serving others was evident both in his professional career and his daily life. Larry was a natural teacher and mentor, imparting wisdom and guidance to many throughout the years. His kindness, generosity, and integrity were hallmarks of his character.

Relationships were paramount to Larry, and he cherished every connection he made. His legacy of love, faith, and service will continue to inspire those who knew him.

The family requests in Lieu of flowers, donations be made to The Gideons International to continue Larry's mission of sharing God's word.

A memorial service will be held to celebrate Larry's life and the impact he had on those who around him, Tuesday June 3, 2025 at 6 pm at Alternative Choice, 804 North Dustin Avenue.

Dear Arlis and family,
Claudia shared with me the passing of Larry. I am Norman´s sister, Ann, from Northfield, Me. I remember meeting Larry and Arlis when they came to Maine and stayed in Norman and Claudia´s little house in Kennebec. Norman was so happy to have them here.
Norman spoke very highly of Larry and Arlis and enjoyed time spent with them. Another good man has left our presence, but will always be in our hearts. I know that he will "Rest in Peace."
My prayers are with you.

Sincerely,

Ann Marie Grange
Northfield, Me

Larry will be sorely missed. I was glad to get a chance to see him last year at his Grandsons Graduation. Larry and Aryls have been such a blessing and help to our family over the years. I am sorry for his loss, but also happy for him that he is no longer in pain and no doubt rejoicing with the Lord and his family. Give my Mom a hug for me if you see her Larry.

Larry was always the first to help anyone. Always there to help if your car or truck needed some repairs. He was always a good friend to Norman and I will always appreciate his kindness. RIP Larry Friez I´m sure Norman will be there to greet you. . Thank you for being so good to our family.
