A time of visitation will be held from 1 to 3 p.m. on Thursday at the funeral home.

Larry Eugene Frierson was born on Feb. 13, 1953, to the late Willie James Frierson and Ada B. Scarborough Frierson. At an early age, Larry joined Mt. Hermon Missionary Baptist Church. He attended Dennis High School, Bishopville. Larry was a master mason, a trade taught to him by his father, and he was the owner of Frierson Masonry. He was a union member of Brick Layers Masons and Blasters International Union of America Local 37. He was employed in the state of New Jersey and New York for more than 20 years, before returning to South Carolina to continue his career and contribution to the craft of masonry.

Humble, outspoken, giving and friendly are all words that can be used to describe Larry. However, the words which best describe Larry are zealous, creative and self-directed. Larry's personal motto was "I'm going to do it my way." On April 3, 1972, Larry united in holy matrimony to Betty Ann Kelly. To their union three children were born.

He leaves to cherish: his wife of 48 years, Betty; three sons, Terance Lynn, Monte Eugene and Ryan Jarroid of Lithonia, Georgia; three brothers, William (Patricia) of Dalzell, Willis Frierson and Omega Wilson of Bishopville; and a sister, Dr. Ada Vanessa Bradley (Leslie) of McDonough, Georgia. He also leaves behind two grandsons, Quavon and Jaden Frierson; a granddaughter, Madison Kelly; two uncles, Robert Cook and Roosevelt Joe of Sumter; three aunts, Mae Belle Cook, Bertha Frazier and Juanita Joe; two sisters-in-law; a host of nieces, nephews and cousins; best friends of more than 40 years, Willie Mickens "Big-Shot" and John Wilson; and other relatives and friends.

He was preceded in death by a brother, James Ray Frierson.

Norton Funeral Home is honored to be serving the Frierson family.
