Not sure what to say?

I had a dream last night and Nels was in it. Although I don’t remember most of the dream I do remember It made me smile and Nels was good at doing that . With his wry wit he was always able to perk up my day with a good story. Barstownians owe Nels much indebtedness for all his civic activism and contributions. The town should be renamed Larsonville. RIP Nels and I’m sure I will see you in another dream to once again see your smile.

We knew Nels as parents of little leaguers. His son Roger and our son Jake played on the same team. Our condolences go out to the family. May God hold you up in your time of loss.

Dr.Larson was also my "eye doctor" for many years. He was such a gentle man and was obviously dedicated to his patients. I pray that his family finds peace and I wish Dr.Larson a comfortable journey into eternity. Thanks Dr.Larson for years of excellent service...bless you all

My deepest condolences to all friends and family of Dr. Larson. He set a pattern of positive achievements and is remembered for his strength of character and compassion. Proverbs 10:7 speaks of the remembrance of the righteous is due for a blessing. Dr. Larson is definitely in his creators memory and awaiting a blessing.

My condolences to Nels family and realitives. I met Nels back when i was employed with the beacon bowl,and learned that he was quite an avid bowler himself. I was also fortunate enough to bowl on a couple of state tournement teams with nels,and he always showed class, sportsmanship and good humor along the way, much like he was in life.....Barstow,indeed has lost a great freind and citizen,rest in peace my freind....

My sympathy and prayers are with you. I met Dr. Larson when he was reccomended to me by Loma Linda for follow up work for my daughter. Our family stayed with him until his retirement. He was a wonderful person and optometrist.
