Unknown Victim of Deadly 1973 Arson in Gay Bar Finally Identified as Larry Norman Frost, 32,
Larry Norman Frost was born near Detroit April 11, 1941, to Wilfred “Fred” Glenvil Frost and Dorothy Ruth Squires. He was the oldest of their five children, followed by Ruth, Donald, Mark, and Nancy.
Larry had blond hair, piercing blue eyes, and a slender build. He was a “soft-spoken, gentle person,” according to his sister, Nancy Frost Spence, 58. She referred to him as her “fun brother.” His niece Lynette described Larry in a similar way: “Goofy ... playful. He loved to play with the kids.”
Larry was especially close to Ruth, Lynette’s mom. “They were each other’s favorites. My mom loved him,” Lynette recalled. After being diagnosed with lymphoma leukemia, Ruth, along with her husband and children, moved from Michigan to Georgia to live with her in-laws. There, her mother-in-law helped raise Lynette and her two younger sisters and served as Ruth’s caregiver.
Nancy, the youngest of the Frost siblings, was also very close to Larry, even though he was 19 years older. “I have some very distinct memories of him coming to the house,” she said. “I can remember him coming and riding bicycles with me. He would always hug you or pick you up. ... I always just clung to him when he was home.”
