Everyone at Harvester Works liked and respected Larry Carson. He was logical, fair, and most of all, friendly to his coworkers. You could count on Larry for compassion and common sense in all situations. My prayers are with Larry´s family in this time of great loss

We were classmates at MHS. I moved away from Moline in 1966. I appreciated the class news that Larry regularly sent out over the years, and I attended many of the 5-year reunions that he was always involved in hosting. He ws a great classmate who will be missed.
