dear family;
Again, so sorry for the double grief in such a short time. I agree with neal-I have a lot of memories of the music with the great uncles at grandma's. Ted and Corky were special to me through the years.

To the Larsen family,
I am so grateful for the time that I had to spend with Ted; he was a very caring person. I know he didn't ever want to talk about it, but I appreciate him serving his country in WWII and being one of the brave fighting men on Omaha beach. It's a comfort to know that he believed in this country and took pride fighting for it. Even though we didn't show it here on earth I know his rewards will be waiting for him in heaven. Thank you Ted, you can rest now. I will be seeing you again someday

Uncle Ted, you'll be missed greatly. I have fond memories of all the times you, Donald and dad would get together and play music. You're with Aunt Corky again. Tim, Bob, Chris and Mike, my sympathy, it's been a rough couple of weeks.

Mike Larsen and family,
I was saddened to hear of Corky's passing and now your dad's. I enjoyed being your sister-in-law and remember many late night card games on New Years Eve at my mom and dad's house. Please accept my sympathy for your double loss.

Chris, Tim, Mike, Bob: Please accept my deepest sympathies in the passing of your Dad. He was a wonderful man and a great father. I will always remember him for taking us fishing and camping on the Elkhorn River. I will always treasure the memories of growing up next to the Larsens on Binney St. Sincerely, Mike Querry

Bob, Mike, Chris, Tim, and the rest of the family:

I'm so sorry for your loss, especially so close after Corky's passing. Since Grandma Stocking passed away, I had just begun to appreciate Cork and Ted as my surrogate grandparents. I have many fond memories of our times together, especially the music. I only wish I could be closer to home at this time to share in the memories.

Grandpa-One day we will go over the bump in the road together again--Play the mandolin together again--And even share some potato pancakes AGAIN!! This is not goodbye forever--It's only a break from one another until we meet again. I'll miss you and Grandma a ton!! Please give both my Grandmas and my Grandpa Bill a kiss and hug.

Who taught me how to fish?
Who taught me to shoot?
Who fixed my cars? Who cussed me out when I was wrong? Who gave me an "attaboy" when I was right?
Who treated me as his own son?
!!!UNCLE TED!!!
Ted was a "manly man"... and a Family man who gave of himself every single day of his life, and Never asked for anything in return.
You can take a break now Ted...unless there's things need fixing in Heaven!
AND SHUT THE DOOR!
Love,
your nephew, Rick
