Mick, I'so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. I have very fond memories of Jim when we were growing up, fishing hunting sometimes duck hunting even before school started in the morning.Then later in High School playing baseball and basketball. I also remember his Monther made the best hot chocolate.
My sincere sympathy to the Larsen family.

Mickey and family, we were so surprised to hear of Jim's passing. You have had so much in your family. Our families go so far back. Vern and June were great friends with my grandparents; Frank and Bettie Wallace. Jim will be sadly missed. We are thinking of you and your family.

To all the Larsen Family, we are so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Peggy I'm so sorry for all you have been through lately. Just know that the good Lord is with you all and your Dad is in wonderful hands now.

Our family will keep your family in our hearts and prayers. In this trying time may God give all you the strength you need to get through each minute of the days and nights ahead. Love,the Turk family.

My condolences to the Larsen family. Jim was one of the best outdoorsman that I have ever known. I had the pleasure of fishing with him. He always caught all the fish. Working with him at Budget was a hoot. I will miss him. Jim is now in the arms of Jesus. May God guide his family in there sorrow.

I alway enjoyed going to Uncle Jimmie's house and playing with my cousins. Uncle Jim always had a great story to tell. He took me to a wrestling match and they broke out the metal chairs and were hitting each other. Lots of good memories.
My blessing to the family as they mourn the lost of great guy and character.
