Stephen 'Steve' A. Frisina

Stephen 'Steve' A. Frisina, 77, of 16135 Limber Rd., Meadville, passed away Tuesday, June 19th, 2012 at home.
Steve was born at home in Meadville on October 15, 1934, a son of the late Antonio and Antonietti 'Anna' (Baretta) Frisina.
Steves long career in the grocery business began many years ago at the former Pat and Petes grocery Store. He had later worked for the former Golden Dawn, Valeskys and other grocery stores in the area. From stock boy to produce manager as well as manager, Steve worked in every capacity during his career. Following his retirement he was employed as a part time bartender at the Italian Civic Club (ICC). He was a 1954 graduate of Meadville High School and a veteran of the US Marine Corps, Korean Conflict. Steve was of the Catholic Faith and had developed a strong devotion to the Lady of Guatalupe. His enthusiasm for the Cleveland Browns and the Cleveland Indians was second only to his passion for golf. Steve enjoyed golfing daily, weather permitting, for many years and played in a retirement league at Whispering Pines. The most important joy in Steves life was his family and extended family including children, grandchildren, siblings, and all his nieces and nephews.
Steve is survived by four children Gina Adams and her husband Mark of Erie, Mark Frisina and his wife Leslie of Berwyn, Dan Frisina and his wife Rhonda of Charlotte, NC, Christopher 'CJ' Frisina of Knoxville, TN, five grandchildren Michael Adams, Connor Frisina, Jennifer Adams, Robert Adams, Claire Frisina, a sister Rose Passander of Ansonia, CT, five brothers Joseph Frisina of Fresno, CA, Anthony Frisina and his wife Rose of Meadville, Sam Frisina of Fresno, CA, Dominic Frisina and his wife Marcia, Peter Frisina and his wife Kathy both of Erie, 22 nieces and nephews, 34 great nieces and nephews, four great great nieces and nephews.
In addition to his parents, Steve was preceded in death by a grandson Stephen Frisina, a brother John Frisina and a sister Theresa Baiera.
