Lloyd Larson Obituary
Lloyd Lester Larson, 84, passed away on Tuesday, October 21, 2025, at Solvay Hospice House in Duluth, MN. He was born February 13, 1941 in Grantsburg, WI to Lester and Myrtle (Ramsdell) Larson. The family moved to Superior, WI where Lloyd graduated from Central High School, class of 1959. He went on to earn machinist certification from Wisconsin Indianhead Technical Institute. He practiced his craft at Grayco in Minneapolis, MN, then went to FMC in Fridley, MN as a manufacturing engineer.
Lloyd married Patricia Cieslicki on August 1, 1964, in Superior at St Anthony Catholic Church. They celebrated 61 years together, raising their three children and enjoying time with their grandchildren.
He liked to hunt and fish and go to auctions. He enjoyed playing cards with family and friends. Lloyd was known for spinning a good yarn or two, some of them even true, and for the jokes he loved to tell. He had a good singing voice and loved to dance. For the past 30 years Lloyd and Pat spent winters in Mission, TX.
He was preceded in death by his parents; sister, Sandra Lee; infant brother, Richard Larson; granddaughter, Faith Rodberg; brothers-in-law, Kenny Cieslicki, Paul Fellbaum, and Art Pank; sisters-in-law, Linda Cieslicki and Barbara Fellbaum.
