Expressing our deepest sympathies to your family. Our thoughts are with you as you celebrate the life of Richard.
On behalf of the Forest Lake American Legion Post 225, we give thanks for Dick’s military service to our country in the Army. It will be a privilege to provide his military honors at Calvary Cemetery.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the Larson family. Dick Larson, a cherished soul who brought joy to our lives. Fond memories arise of his deep love for Jolene (Grandma Larson), the heartwarming Sven and Ole jokes that filled our gatherings, and the laughter shared during card games in Lake Havasu. His cabin stories painted vivid memories, while his competitive spirit in “boys against girls” card games and “Sequence” added a special spark. Dick, a true family man, eagerly anticipated moments with his kids, grandkids, and great-grandchildren at family events. May he rest in peace, leaving behind a legacy of love and laughter.
May each new sunrise bring you farther from your grief and wonderful memories replace your sadness. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. With Sympathy, Darrell and Family
