William Larson Obituary
March 23, 1947 - December 22, 2025
Mount Pleasant - William "Bill" Arthur Larson, 78, passed away on Monday, December 22, 2025, at Aurora Medical Center – Mount Pleasant.
Bill was born on March 23, 1947, in Racine, to the late Ernest and Betty (née Klingenmeyer) Larson. He spent most of his life in the Racine area. Bill was the Vice President and operator of MAR-SAN Screw Products. Inc. for 32 years, retiring in 2009 after building a successful business.
Bill was a loyal Green Bay Packers fan, loved turkey hunting with family, and was known among family and friends as a cribbage master. He also enjoyed firing up the grill and spending time outdoors. Earlier in life, Bill gave back to his community as assistant high school soccer coach at Horlick High School and as a youth mentor through Big Brothers Big Sisters. Family was his number one priority.
Bill will be deeply missed by his children, Gavin Larson, Kristin (Dale) Zuzek, and Joshua (Amanda) Larson; his grandchildren, Jolie Larson, Lillie Larson, Taylor Zuzek, Ayla Zuzek, Samuel Larson, and Reece Larson; and his siblings, Ernie (Pam) Larson, David Bongiovani, and Dennis (Barb) Larson.

I believe, if memory serves me right, that Bill Larson was instrumental, pun intended, in getting me into learning the drums i.e. percussion instruments in 6th grade at Wadewitz Elementary School in Racine. My thanks to you, Bill. May you Rest in Peace, William, and may God's Grace comfort you while the Light shines upon you in perpetuity..............t.
