Obituary

Lawrence David Fradin, 86, loving and devoted husband of the late Sharyn Hope Fradin, his high school sweetheart, best friend, love of his life and spouse for 63 yrs; devoted son of the late Esther and Harry Fradin; proud father of Peter (Ellen) Fradin, Scott (Gail) Fradin and Ilyssa (Greg) Werstler whom he cleverly honored on his car’s license plate as PESGIG8; Grandpa/Papa Larry cherished his beautiful grandchildren Jon (Alayna), Jeremy (fiancée, Lyndsey), Emily, Sam, Alec, and Jilly Fradin, Hope and Ella Werstler, whose accomplishments and successes he celebrated; he marveled at his only great grandchild, Sage Fradin, his wife Sharyn’s namesake, who coincidentally shares Sharyn’s birthday; the elder brother of Frank (the late Joan) Fradin and Sharon/Sheikah (Rick) Davis; and beloved uncle to several nieces and nephews. Throughout his life, Larry kept in close contact with his siblings and his many cousins, creating countless wonderful memories. He also enjoyed time with his many new and lifelong friends all of whom brought him so much laughter and happiness. He was a talented interior designer who followed in his father’s footsteps, often furnishing portions of the family home with furniture his clients rejected. After retiring in 2020, he found continued happiness playing pickleball, golf, line ball, pool, canasta, attending movie club and hanging out with the MEL group. He will be dearly missed by so many.
