Larry C. Frey

Larry C. Frey age 64, entered into the Lord's presence on Saturday, August 1st, 2026. Born July 28, 1962 to Walter and Carolyn (Mereness) Frey in Elkhorn, WI. He was a lifelong resident of Lake Geneva, graduating from Badger High School in 1980.

Larry devoted his early years to helping on the family farm then transitioning to the Putnam Company in Walworth, WI then to Morton/Dow Chemical Company as Logistics Supervisor for 25 years. The last 15 years of his life he devoted his time caring for his beloved Aunt Doris Hatch, and his Father and Mother.

Larry was known as a creative craftsman. Woodworking, hand-turning pens, welding, tinkering on machinery are just a few of his many talents. He played piano for church services, choirs and hymn sings. Spending time with his children at theme parks, hot air balloon chasing, riding his motorcycle and later in life enjoying time in his beloved Missouri were some of the many joys he indulged in.

Larry was a devoted husband, brother, uncle and father to his children, step-children, and grandchildren. Most importantly he was a devoted follower of Jesus Christ whom he loved and dedicated his life to serving to best of his ability. His hope and faith NEVER waivered in the face of uncertainty.
