Einer Larsen Obituary

RACINE - Einer J. Larsen passed away unexpectedly at his home on Tuesday October 19, 2004. He was born December 2, 1909, in Denmark. On October 4, 1934, in Denmark, he was united in marriage to Thinne Madsen. Einer came to the United States with his wife and four children in 1955. He was the Founder of Larsen's Bakery and operated the bakery with his wife for many years. He was a member of Bethania Lutheran Church. He was an avid sportsman: loved hunting, fishing, and enjoyed watching the Chicago Cubs, the Green Bay Packers, and the Wisconsin Badgers. Einer's love, wit, and humor will be deeply missed by his family. Surviving are his loving son, Henning Larsen of Carmel, Calif.; two loving daughters and sons-in-law, Inger (Charles) Penner of Burlingame, Calif. and Birgit (Robert) Winterle of Racine; five grandchildren, Scott (Meg) Penner, Mark (Jodie) Penner, Michael Penner, Brian (Sarah) Winterle, Tina Winterle; eight great-grandchildren; and numerous relatives in Denmark. He was preceded in death by his loving wife, Thinne; and son, Ove Larsen. A Memorial service will be held in Bethania Lutheran Church, 4120 Wright Avenue, on Saturday, October 23, 2004, at 11 a.m. with Pastor Paul VanDeBerg officiating. Relatives and friends may meet with the family following the service. Private interment was held at Graceland Cemetery. Memorials to Bethania Lutheran Church or to one's favorite charity have been suggested. MARESH-MEREDITH AND ACKLAM FUNERAL HOME 803 Main Street 634-7888

I never met my great uncle Einer, but learned about him through my cousin Gary Larsen, and through my efforts of researching my family history. I am the daughter of Richard W. Larsen. Grand-daughter of Wallace Larsen, and Great Grand-daughter of Victor Larsen...Einer's brother. I wish Einer's family the best and welcome anyone to get in touch with me with information on our family history...including friends who have any information. I think to keep our family's history alive will always prove benefitial to our young ones coming up who have no idea what a great family we've had. It was wonderful for me to learn that I was only the 3rd generation in the United States over from Denmark...I wish to keep searching for information about my family in Denmark as well.

My parents Robert and Anne Orr were members of Bethania before they moved to Bruce, Wisconsin. Mrs. Larsen and my mother were friends,and came to greet us when we came into the backery. We were long time customers of Larsen Bakery and my fondest memories were the blue Danish Plates up on the wall. I went to school with Ove and also talked to Birgit many times. What a lovely family. Although my mother has passed away and my father and I have moved to Eau Claire we still think of those lovely times and memories of the Larsen family. May God bless all of you
