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

Nels was my friend and neighbor for many years. We often enjoyed starting the day as we opened our offices. He was the best and all of us will miss his presence. Geri enhanced his life so much.

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 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.

Nels and I have been best friends since before we started the Clarinet class with Mr. Coe at Cameron School. We have had a lot of good times together and he was with me as I was going through some tough emotional times. You couldn't ask for a more kind, fair, and gentle person. I know we all will miss him very much. Thanks for being with him Geri. Rest in Peace Nels.

Nels and I go way back and I cherish the memories we shared together. He was the person who advised me in Optometry School and eventually asked me to work with him in Barstow. Coming to work everyday with Nels was a joy and pleasure. I could always count on the sly smile and dry humor to pick me up and get me going.I will miss him dearly as a colleague and most of all as a dear friend who touched my life in such an endearing way.Thank you Nels and GO BEARS.
