He was a person of old school values that his handshake was his word and his word was his reputation. From his early years he came from a hardworking background doing chores after school to fulfilling his obligations after work growing up.

He was owner of Larsen Bros. Construction, performing septic cleaning, yard work and various jobs as well as hauling cars for people for many years. He was the type of person to always tip his hat to say “Hello” and “Nice to see you again.” He will always be remembered as a soft spoken “Tell it like it is” kind of person sometime upsetting his bosses as well as friend and family with the expressing of his feelings and statements. One of his favorite pastimes was going to auctions as well as tractor and car shows.

He leaves behind a nephew Robert Larsen of Norwich, two nieces Linda Larsen of Norwich and Nancy Fowler of New London as well as extended family.
