Ma'am, I can't exactly say that I remember him for sure, but I remember "Larson". I don't have a visual photo that appears when I think of his name, but it saddens me nonetheless . . . another great Marine has left us. I just wish he, as others who have passed before him, knew just how much they have contributed to our United States! I offer my most humble condolences -

Semper Fi and God Bless,

Hank Oliver

To the family of Tom Larson; I have never met you but I knew your Father in Viet Nam. I was the F.O. that Tom replaced and must say there was never a finer person on the face of the earth. He was a very caring man who was only concerned for others and never thought of himself. I feel very sad that Tom has passed away but all of you must remember that he is now in heaven watching over all of you and the rest of us that are left here. The good lord has received a fine man who will leave much sadness behind, but many great memories for those of us still here. Jay Grigsby, 3rd Bn/5th Marines. Semper Fi Tom
