Lloyd Wesley Larson

Mr. Larson was my principal in elementary school and then became my 6th grade teacher. I have to say I was pretty intimidated when I found out that my principal was then going to be my teacher, but he was one of my favorite teachers.

The finest of men. The heart of my hometown. Until then.

I loved Mr Larson, he was my principal and I remember the wooden paddle with the holes in it. I am sure my brother saw it more than me but I had my share of Principal visits. He was a wonderful man and will be missed. The whole Grinols' family will keep the Larson family in our thoughts and prayers.

My sincere condolences to his family, and especially to his sister (my friend) June Lyerla

truly a great man that inspired us all. he was always a gentleman. my thoughts are with you all, Shelly (Rodello) Werner
