Mr. Lawrence Frattura

Lawrence "Larry" Frattura , 87 of Drexel Hill, PA passed away on Friday, August 26, 2016. Born in Fallo, Italy he moved to the US with his family at age 2. Initially living in Boston, MA and later settling permanently in Philadelphia, Larry attended the historic Murrell Dobbins Technical School in Philadelphia. A veteran of the US Army, he honorably served as a Private 1st Class military police officer where he once drew guard detail for President Eisenhower on one of his trips to the area. After his discharge from the Army he held positions at the Upper Darby Police Department, the US Postal Service and finally at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard where he helped repair the infamous Battleship New Jersey. Larry was a member of the Laurentians Seniors group in Upper Darby and served several terms as their President.
