Lawrence L Larsen (November 9, 1921- May 15, 2004)

On May 15, we lost Barb’s Dad, Lawrence Larsen, of rural Mantorville, MN. Lawrence had fought a lengthy battle with Parkinson’s disease. Lawrence spent his entire life on a dairy farm and loved to go to auctions. Lawrence was always interested in antiques and was a major source of information and help to me and Barb’s brother Paul when we first got started with our antique store in Mantorville back in 1975. Lawrence was interested in our auction business from Day One. Years later, he and Arlene still had our first auction flyer hanging in their kitchen. We will miss him
