Froelich burial service September 2

Former BJ reporter Larry Froelich will be buried on Saturday, September 2 in Dover Burial Park in Parral, Ohio, a Dover suburb.

Here is the email I received from his widow, Suzanne Dolezal Froelich:

“John, 

“Here is the notice of my husband Larry's burial in Dover for posting to the BJ blog:

“Burial service for former Akron Beacon-Journal staffer Larry N. Froelich, 77, will be on Saturday, Sept. 2, at 12:30 p.m. at Dover Burial Park, 5651 N. Wooster Ave. with Pastor Dotty Hartzell from St. John’s United Church of Christ officiating. There will be signs to the gravesite.

“Froelich passed away on June 5 after a sudden accident. A memorial service was held in June in Lexington, KY, where he resided with his wife, Suzanne. 

“Thanks very much!

“Suzanne Froelich”

Larry’s first wife was former BJ reporter Janis Froelich, who lives in Tierra Verde, Florida (near St. Petersburg) with her current husband, St. Petersburg photographer Ray Bassett.

Larry Norman Froelich was 77 years old.

He retired from the Lexington News-Leader in 2005 as news editor.

He is survived by his wife, Suzanne; three children, Mark (Christa) Froelich, Britta (Marc) Spanke and Eric (Stephanie) Froelich; and five grandchildren, Jack, Halle, Lindsay, Clare and Robert.
