Dr. Stephen Larson was a mentor to me when I was on staff at Southdale hospital, one of my favorite physicians. With any OB/GYN or life problem, he went out of his way to be kind, caring, and compassionate. He would always listen, offer timely advice, and encourage, a truly extraordinary man in so many ways!

Stece was my roommate at Dartmouth and a really wonderful man. Even though we were not in close contact after college, I always heard that HE was the doctor you wanted when you were having problems.
God Bless him and his family

Such a wonderful human being. He helped many a woman try to figure out what pregnancy is all about! Loved this guy and ALL his staff. Thirty years is a long time to trust and go to a Dr. Peace to all.

I live in the Northwest presently. Dr. Larson was my Dr. for over 13 yrs. I am a RN and worked with him occasionally. He was a wonderful caring Dr. and person. So sad to hear of his loss. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.

Darlene and I were so blessed to be entrusted with Steve and Cindy's children for a few days while I was in medical school. Later he gave me good advice on the difficult birth of our first son. The world has lost a great doctor and friend. bob Jones

WHAT A LOSS TO THE COMMUNITY. DR LARSON DELIVERED MY FIRST CHILD, ANGELLA, ON MARCH 12, 1971. MAY HAVE BEEN ONE OF HIS EARLY DELIVERIES. THERE WERE 5 DOC'S IN THE PRACTICE AND I HAD TO SEE ALL OF THEM DUE TO NOT KNOWING WHO WOULD ACTUALLY MAKE THE DELIVERY. SO, DR LARSON SUGGESTED I LOOSE FIVE POUNDS IN MY DECEMBER VISIT WITH HIM! SO I DECIDED TO NOT SCHEDULE WITH HIM AGAIN! WELL, GUESS WHO APPEARED AT SHOW TIME? DR. LARSON! HE WAS SO KIND AND REASSURING. GOD REST HIS SOUL.

At a critical time for me Dr. Larson was competent and reassuring. A wonderful doctor! I pray for his family and those who knew and loved him.

Dr. Larson delivered 2 of my 4 children when he was in Dr. Stromme's group. He was always so caring and would take the time to be a friend as well as a great doctor. He also did a couple of other female surgeries on me and was always there to offer care. I will miss him and his dedication on caring for his patients in a very gentle way. We would always discuss how our children were doing. Rest in Peace doctor Steve as I will pray for your family. Thank you for being the wonderful man and doctor you were with me. Lori Neid

I was a classmate of Lars' in medical school and we roomed together in Montreal our third year. He moved to the AKK fraternity house for the last year because his Dad thought I was a bad influence. Reading his obituary and the tributes from his friends it's obvious he became a truly awesome physician who has made a difference in so many peoples' lives.

My deepest condolences to the entire family. I was his patient for 30 years and I will miss his smile and my yearly visits to see him. I just saw him in October. I have never cried at the loss of a doctor before. He was an incredible physician with a heart of gold and a gentle soul.

My love and sympathies go to you, Cindy, and your children and grandchildren. As you know Steve & Petie were such good friends throughout childhood and our marriages.....& as perhaps they are reunited... Words from others can't stop your pain, but maybe put a warm fuzzy blanket over it...The memory of Steve will last forever as the most kind, gentle, caring man I know.... I just want you all to know you all will stay in my thoughts as I send love and strength to you...
