Larson Wholesale Refrigeration Sales Co. for 24 years. He retired in 1981. His hobbies included flying radio-controlled airplanes, attending stock are races and traveling. Survivors include his wife Hazel; daughter Kathy (Gene) Rusch, Avondale, Ariz.; sons Dennis E. (Judy), Avondale, Ariz.; and Jack L. (Barb), Goodyear, Ariz.; six grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren. Also surviving are sister Doris (Lloyd) Grueneberg, Wausau; and brother Harold, Monticello, Ind. He was preceded in death by his parents and brothers Victor, Gilbert and Fremont. Funeral services were Wednesday, September 29, at Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church, Merrill. Rev. James Weiland officiated. Burial was in Zion Lutheran Cemetery, Town of Stettin. The Waid Funeral Home, Merrill, served the family. God looked around His garden He found an empty place. He then looked down upon this Earth and saw your tired face. He put His arms around you and Lifted you to rest. God’s garden must be beautiful; He only takes the best. He saw the road was getting Rough So He closed your weary eyes And whispered “Peace Be Thine.” It broke our hearts to lose you, But you didn’t go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God called you home.
