Not sure what to say?

Bub was one of the greatest people that I have every been associated with. He was always a gentleman and a good friend and Mason. I loved to hear his stories and will miss him, his articles and his E-mails. All our condolences and prayers to Mary
Ellen and family.

Dear Larsen Family,
We were so sorry to read of your loss. We knew of Mr. Larsen while briefly attending First Baptist Church P.V. and he seemed like such a kind man.
I was so happy to learn that your wonderful family has been responsible for the beautiful "star on the hill"! Growing up this was a precious sign that the season was upon us, and my own little family has enjoyed it, too. Thank you for this sweet memory that I and my dear parents enjoyed so very much each year. That...

Dear Mary Ellen, Karen and Nancy,
There are no words to express my sadness at Bub's passing. I will always
be so glad that I had the opportunity
to know him and will cherish his
friendship with Dad. He was such a loving and caring friend to Dad and a
great help to me when Dad passed. My
thoughts and prayers are with you today
and always....

SINCERELY,

Dear Mary Ellen, Nancy and Karen,
Bub was a very dear man and a loyal friend. He was a special Mason, and a practicing Christian in all ways. We will miss him especially Loren. He suffered so much and gave his best effort to survive.
He is resting at peace now.
Our sympathy and love,
Loren and Leah Fernald

" I knew Bub for 44 years. He was a second father to me. When I married he embraced my husband, too. We spent several holidays helping Bub put up the "Star". He loved his family and the Lord deeply. I shall miss him." Denise Amigh - Bakersfield

Bub was one of the finest human beings that I ever knew. I consider myself lucky to have been able to call him a friend. Plus, he sure knew how to put airplanes together!

Condolences on the passing of your beloved family member. I didn't know him personally, but have delighted for decades in the beautiful star that shone brightly over the South Torrance area each Advent and Christmas season. I thank Mr. Larsen and your family for that lovely gift to our community.

Uncle Bub will be deeply missed by our family, his nephew Donald Mundy, wife Sue Mundy and there two sons William and Donald Jr.
We will always cherish our time together and that little twinkle in his eye when he laughed. He was such a great teacher of history my sons could not wait to get him alone and question him on his many travels and great knowledge of planes. To Aunt Mary, Karen,and Nancy we love and share your sorrow, we will band together now and never forget this great man.
