Raymond Frye

Raymond William Frye, 79, of Frederick, Maryland, passed from this life on Tuesday, November 10, 2020 at his home, surrounded by his family.  He was the husband to Melinda "Mindy" Frye.  Born on January 28, 1941, in Frederick, he was the son of Raymond Nelson Frye and Myra Eleanor (Tobery) Frye.

Raymond was a superintendent in the construction industry for 35+ years.  He loved to cook and tried to keep his recipes a secret. He was very smart when it came to repairing things.  His clever use of duct tape would amaze anyone.  He was the definition of a perfectionist.

Raymond was a loving husband, father, brother, honey, Pop Pop, Poppy and friend.  He was always the "Big Guy" to his son-in-law, David "Davey" Wetzel, with whom he shared a very special bond.
