Frank Larson

FOSTER CITY - Frank R. Larson, 90, of Foster City, passed away Monday, Nov. 12, 2007, at Pinecrest Medical Care Facility in Powers where he resided during the past eight months. He was born on June 28, 1917, in Chicago, and worked for more than 40 years as a foreman for the Chicago Northwestern Railroad. Not many people can say they loved their work, but Frank certainly did. After his retirement, he served as a bailiff for the Dickinson County Sheriff's Department. Some of his greatest joys were going out to hunting Camp "4-Generations" with his son and grandsons, fishing, camping, golfing, playing baseball in his younger days, and visiting with his special buddies that stopped by almost daily to check on him, and we thank them all for that. Frank loved music and getting together with his family and friends singing and playing his harmonica and musical instruments to all the good old tunes, especially church hymns which Marie loved so well. He married the love of his life, Marie Varney of Foster City on July 3, 1938. They were blessed with two children Frank is survived by a son, Darrell (Sharon) Larson of Foster City; a daughter, June (Ron) Huck of Crestview, Fla.; a brother, Harold (Pauline) Larson of Hebron, Ill.; a sister-in-law, Deloris Carlson of Foster City; grandchildren, Dean (Dawn) Larson of Foster City, Annette (Kevin) Rose of Florence, Wis., David (Darlene) Kempton of Crestview, Fla., Dan (Danielle) Kempton of Kingsford and Colleen Vice and Kathy Whitt, both of Kenosha, Wis.;13 great-grandchildren, nine great-great grandchildren; and several nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, Frank Sr. and Margaret (Coburn) Larson; his beloved wife, Marie in 1996; a brother, Edward Larson; and twin sisters, Marie Larson and Ethel Numsen. Frank's wishes were to be cremated with no services. He will be laid to rest next to his wife Marie in the Foster City Cemetery. The family would like to express a very special thanks to his doctors, nurses, aids and staff at Pinecrest where he enjoyed his past few months and had such wonderful loving care.
