Larry Harold Frischman

A graveside service will be held for Larry H. Frischman, 86, of Lakeside, on Tuesday, October 24, 2023 at 2:00 p.m. at Sunset Memorial Park in Coos Bay.

Born in Goodrich, Wisconsin, Larry told stories of tapping trees for maple syrup, walking to school and feeding the cows in feet of snow and having icicles hanging from his bedroom roof of his house. In 1956 Larry graduated from Marshfield High School in Wisconsin and joined the Marine Corps. He served for two years, working as a mechanic and driving a variety of fire equipment. After the Marines, Larry found himself working at a store in Lakeside, Oregon, where he met his wife, Florence Menegat. Larry and Florence married September 5, 1961 and were happily married for 62 years.

Throughout Larry’s life, he had various jobs and talents. He worked for the PUD, City of Lakeside Water District, volunteered as a firefighter, helped build the Lakeside Fire Hall, served as Lakeside Fire Chief, sat on the first city council in Lakeside when Lakeside became incorporated, drove a hay truck, had a school bus route and drove a gas tanker truck for Graham Oil until his retirement.

When Larry was home, he still worked hard. He had a vast range of experiences from building his family house with his family, owning his own saw mill to cut lumber, tending to his property, working with his father-in-law, Pete Menegat, on his ranch, spending the summers bailing hay for the cows, bee keeping, and fixing anything that needed repaired. Larry was truly the jack of all trades.

Larry is survived by his wife, Florence; daughter Nadine and husband Joel Hurtado and their children, Russell and Sierra ( husband Taylor ) Jarding; son, Joe and his wife Danica and their boys Kyle and Matt; brother, Vern; and sisters, Louise Van Alstyne, Bernice Evans and Betty Epperson.

Larry was preceded in death by his parents, Lawrence and Ruth; sister, Virginia and his father and mother-in-law, Pete and Freda.
