Kenneth R. Larson
December 9, 1947 — August 30, 2014
Kenneth Robert Larson, 66, of Ellsworth, died Saturday, August 30, 2014. He was born December 9, 1947, in Red Wing, to Lloyd and Grace (Bach) Larson and grew up near Plum City, where he attended school. As a young man, he worked on the family farm and later began working at Red Wing Shoe Company. He also had been employed at Jacques Seed Company and Mycogen Seeds in Prescott, Ellsworth Creamery, Treasure Island Resort and Casino and Remington Seed in Hastings, where he retired due to health reasons. On April 17, 1995 he was united in marriage to Lorie Guest in Arvada, Colorado and they lived in Ellsworth. Kenny was a hard worker who loved farming and being in the fields. He knew his cows by name and he enjoyed tending to his vegetable garden, especially his tomatoes. He was always willing to help his friends, neighbors and family, be it plowing snow, painting or sheet rocking. He enjoyed genealogy and was a tinkerer and a kid at heart-he loved bears and Elvis.
