Lawrence
Frisina
Jan 24, 1954 — Jun 13, 2021
Smithtown
It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of Lawrence Paul Frisina. Larry passed away on Sunday, June 13, 2021, at the age of 67, after a six month battle with Pancreatic Cancer.
Larry was born in Melville, New York to the late Rose and Leonard Frisina. He carried on his father's legacy of growing E&F Trucking & Warehouse which was founded in the late 1940's. Larry succeeded his father in the 1980's and later encouraged and supported his daughter Lauren Nichols to open her own 3rd Generation Warehouse. Larry was also the owner and CEO of Premier Transportation, 3G Distribution in Nevada, and his most recent venture; 3G Distribution Services in South Carolina. Additionally, he was a successful real estate owner with multiple properties on Long Island. He was a true businessman and mentor at heart and was known for his people skills and keen business sense.
Larry was a 1971 graduate of Saint Anthony's High School, earned a Bachelor's degree from Adelphi University and later attended Traffic School at the World Trade Center. He was married to his devoted and fun-loving wife, Nancy (Figari) in 1977. They were married for 43 years and were blessed with 3 adoring daughters, 3 devoted sons-in-laws, and 6 grandchildren. His wife and his family were his whole world and he never tired of making memories together. Larry was a larger than life, loyal, generous family man, friend, brother and cousin. He was relied on for advice, perspective, support, and laughter in EVERY capacity. You could often find Larry surrounded by friends and family while traveling, barbecuing and hanging in the pool or cutting mangoes and creating scavenger hunts for his grandchildren. He had a knack for seeing the big picture of life and finding gratitude in all of his blessings.
Larry is survived by his loving wife, Nancy, his daughter Vanessa Marie and husband Scott D. Avery, III and their children Scott D. Avery, IV and Evelyn Rose, his daughter Lauren Ann and husband Kevin Nichols and their children Jake William and Leah Rose, and his daughter Jacquelyn Leigh and husband Jeffrey Kane and their children Leighton Rose and Brennan Michael.
Larry believed firmly in living life to the fullest with no regrets! His family finds comfort in knowing that he was at peace when he passed and was truly thankful for the beautiful and full life that he lived until the very last days.
