Wow, I just found out Mr Larson passed away. I remember him from my years at Lincoln Irving. I seen him do some things to be honest I didn't approve of during my time there when he was Principle, he could be pretty rough, but I also seen him show a good heart. At any rate I'm sorry to hear of his passing. He sure didn't change much in appearance at all over the years. Rest in peace Mr Larson.

My most sincere sympathy to Dick's entire family. He was my principal at Lincoln-Irving in Moline. I am so grateful for his leadership and friendship. It was a pleasure to teach in his school. Special thoughts to Steve who was in my class. Linda Brooke. 3rd Grade.

To The Family of Mr. Larson,
I was a student at Logan Elementary when Mr. Larson was a teacher there. I have very happy memories of him because he truly cared about all his students. He brought a television to school during the World Series and our class felt very special to be able to watch the games instead of doing school work. I don't even like baseball but I sure did enjoy those games! I retired from The Dispatch in January after 45 years and now I'm a substitute teacher. My favorite place to sub is Logan. Whenever I sub there - I share stories with the students about what Logan was like back when I was a student and I ALWAYS tell them about Mr. Larson. I promise to be faithful in praying for your family each day.
God Bless,
Sandee Luster

Mary, I am so sorry for your loss. Dick was a wonderful man and I was blessed to have gotten to know him even briefly. I am praying for you. I think of you both often.
