I worked with Jack at CU Realty for a few years and just heard the news on Saturday. He always came into the office with a smile and always joked with me. Very sad to hear..my thoughts go out to his family.

Dear Jeanne & Family, We were so saddened by the news of Jack's passing. Our hearts go out to you and the family. We are former neighbors from the Eastside. Jack was always so thoughtful. He never failed to bring us our favorite banana ice cream every summer. He was there for us when our son had to be taken to the hospital emergency room on Fathers Day. He sure was a great role model for all men. Many of us appreciated his kindness and concern for others. Our love and prayers go out to you during this most difficult time.

Love,
Tom and Harriet Murphy

Was a very sad day for me when I received the news. Jack was a wonderful and a happy man. When Jack was the manager in Edina Realty Maplewood office I would stop in and there was Jack with a smile to greet me. Jack would say Come on in my office and lets chat. I am going to miss you Jack. My regards to the family.

We will always remember Jack's jovial personality. As the manager of our real estate office, we had many great conversations. He was a great leader and friend. When he left as manager it was a sad day. Our thoughts are with his family during this difficult time.

Jack was always one of my favorite Edina Realty managers to work with. He was always there to welcome you into his office and greet you with a friendly smile. He always talked so proudly of his family and always asked you about your family too. He truly is one of the nicest people I have known.

I wish all of his family peace during this difficult time and that all of the wonderful memories of Jack sustain them through these days ahead.

About 1982 I walked into the Edina Realty Office in Maplewood and as I was waiting in the lobby a number of agents were buzzing around and Jack Larson in his black suit walked over to me, introduced himself and said if I had any questions about Edina Realty don't ever hesitate to contact him. We chatted for a little bit. Over the years I did a couple of transactions with Jack and they were always wonderful! I really got to know him when we worked together when I opened up the White Bear Lake Office. Jack replaced myself as manager and I would have to say he was probably one of the kindest best souls I have worked with in the industry, not to mention a wonderful sense of humor. I'm very sorry for the families loss.

I not only was fortunate enough to work for Jack, I had the privledge of seeing him outside of work since we have relatives in common. Nicest guy you could ever know! Wonderful family! I will be thinking of you all. Big hugs to you Jeanne!

I cried when I got the email that Jack has passed on. He was such a great guy! I loved it when he was my manager/friend at Edina Realty Maplewood. He was always ready to help in whatever way he could...a smile, lunch, advice, a joke, cash... I remember sending his sister postcards "from Jack" when we traveled... what fun! Our paths haven't crossed in the recent past, but he will be missed by many of us--me included!

Jack recuited me to the Cottage Grove Burnet Realty in 1987. He was a man with lots of enthusiasm and energy. He made a difference in the world and we will miss him.

I was surprised to get the email that Jack had passed away. I always enjoyed him. He was just one of those great people that you loved to see and catch up with. Our paths did not cross much after he left our office but I always loved it when I had the opportunity to visit with him. My condolences to Jeanne and all of his family. I know he will be missed. You are in my prayers.

I was shocked and saddened to hear of Jack's passing. Jack and I enjoyed many laughs when he was with our Edina Realty office. Jack and Jeanne also attended many of my music events at our church which I really appreciated. Jack was a colleague, but more importantly, he was a friend. We all will miss his sense of humor and always-friendly personality. Our condolences to Jeanne and the entire family.

World's Best Grandpa!

I'm sorry to hear of Jack's passing.

What a great guy! Jack was my very first hockey coach!

He always said I reminded him of Moose Vasko of the old, old North Stars!

Prayers and positive vibes to the entire Larson Family.

Jeanne and the entire Larson family: We were so sad to receive John's phone call regarding Jack. He was a good friend for nearly 30 years and we enjoyed fun, food and friendship over that period of time. Words can't express the void this leaves within me; he is with his Lord but still with us. Jack was a good man who left us all better people because we were touched by him. Rest in peace my good friend; we will always love you.
