Larry F. Frisone ’54 died on August 17, 2010. Resident of Carmel, Frisone passed away at the age of 79, after battling a seven year progressive neurological disorder, with family and care givers by his side. Larry was an extremely kind, honest and caring father, grandfather and friend. He always greeted everyone with a warm smile, witty conversation and was the life and soul of the party. Larry was born in Akron, Ohio. His primary schooling was at Saint Mary’s Parochial School. His family moved to San Jose in July of 1947 and was enrolled at Bellarmine High School and graduated in 1950. He played varsity football first as a tackle then as a fullback during winning seasons. Larry’s first year at college was at Santa Clara University where we took pre-science courses and ROTC. He then went to UC Berkley and graduated in 1954 with a BS Degree in Pharmacy from UCSF Medical Center College of Pharmacy and was licensed shortly thereafter. During September of 1954, Larry was called to duty in the US Army Medical Service Corp as a Second Lieutenant beginning at Fort Sam, Houston, Texas where he held various logistic assignments. After one year, he was transferred to Frankfurt, Germany where he was platoon leader of a MASH unit and later became the Company Commander. In July, 1956, Larry was honorably discharged as a First Lieutenant and began his pharmacy career. Larry met his future wife, Gloria Vizza, in San Jose when by chance, she walked into a pharmacy where Larry was currently working. He took a liking to her immediately. He didn’t need to ask her for a phone number since he had already typed her prescription. Larry and Gloria were married on December 21, 1958. They had two children, a daughter, Julie and a son, Robert. Several months after their wedding, he opened Hecker Pass Pharmacy in Gilroy and began a very successful business. During these years, he always had a real estate project in the works. Julie died in 1970 which may have prompted Larry’s need for a change in life. He shortly, thereafter, sold the pharmacy and pursued real estate full time. Larry, Gloria and Robert moved to Pebble Beach in 1977. His son, Robert, after graduating from college in 1986 began developing projects and running the office with Larry. Larry and Robert enjoyed working together for many years until Larry decided to reduce his hours to pursue community service. Gloria died in 1990 after fighting cancer for three years. Larry being the devoted husband never left her side. In July of 1997, Larry became a happy grandfather to his pride and joy, Emily Elizabeth Frisone. His favorite moments were visiting Emily at school, taking her shopping, listening to her play her violin and watching her ride at horse shows. He was so proud of her. Larry was always active in his various communities: Gilroy American Legion, Gilroy Rotary Club, Gilroy Elks Club, board member of Friends of Hospice, board member Chartwell School, Monterey County Cultural Commission, Stillwater Yacht Club (Commodore 2005) and member of the Big Sir Land Trust Membership Committee. Larry was also a member of the Pebble beach, Beach and Tennis Club and the Monterey Peninsula Country Club. Larry was a very generous man and made donations to many charities though-out the Monterey Peninsula. Larry is survived by his son, Robert Frisone, his daughter in law, Caron Frisone and his loving granddaughter, Emily Frisone who reside in Pebble Beach, California. Larry’s family would like to thank Jun Camarse (Compassionate Care) and his entire family for the loving and attentive care given for three years.
