God has blessed Roger and his legacy. I am honored to say that my memories of Roger as my Cub Scout leader, and of Roger’s son as my camp counselor and boss at Slumberland, and of the privilege of being the teacher at Minnehaha Academy of Roger’s grandchildren and great grandchildren are wonderful and warm my heart. Thank you, Larson family, for continuing Roger’s legacy in your work in our community to act out Jesus’ love.

What a marvelous legacy this humble, talented gentleman has left to his church, his family and his community. "Well done, good and faithful servant."

Larson Family,
I am honored to have so many wonderful memories: Roger as my Cub Scout leader with the bumper pool table and canoe in the basement, Ken as my 8th grade Sunday School teacher, and the honor of having grandchildren and great grandchildren of Roger in my classes at Minnehaha. God bless you.
