Life EventDateDescription
Birth31 July 1917Adolph J. Larson was born on 31 July 1917 at South Dakota.
He was the son of Adolph L. Larson and Josephine B. Englund.
Marriage24 September 1994Adolph J. Larson married Dorothy Larsen on 24 September 1994.
Death25 July 2011Adolph J. Larson died on 25 July 2011 at age 93 Adolph J. Larson was born in rural Spink, SD to parents Adolph and Josephine (Englund) Larson on July 31, 1917 and died July 25, 2011, just 6 days shy of his 94th birthday. Adolph received his elementary education at Spink School, and graduated from Elk Point High School after staying out one year to help on the farm following the death of his father. He was baptized and confirmed at Brule Creek Lutheran Church, rural Elk Point, SD where he remained a member until 1994 when he became a member of Bethany Lutheran Church, Viborg, SD.

He served in the U.S. Army from May, 1942 until January, 1946. During his service he was involved in training operations state-side and the Philippines. Upon discharge from the army, Adolph joined his brother as owner & operator of the Spink Store. They continued this partnership until Leonard's death in 1981. Adolph then moved to Beresford.

What a delightful surprise it was when Adolph, at the age of 77, ended his bachelorhood and married Dorothy Larsen on September 24, 1994. Their shared love of music brought them together and the love they had for one another was an inspiration to many as they told "their story."

Adolph is survived by his wife, Dorothy, her children and their families, sister-in-law, Katherine Larson, and nieces and nephews who cherish his memory: Helen Hoyer Kahl, Mark Hoyer, Bernie Hoyer, Gail Larson Swee, Steve Larson, Janet Davis Krueger and Alan Davis. He is also survived by numerous great-nephews and nieces, many of which enjoyed his willingness to play games with them, teach them to play cards and "puzzle" together.

Adolph was preceded in death by his parents, sisters, Margaret Hoyer, Alvira Miller and Helen Davis and his brother and business partner, Leonard.

A memorial service will be held 2:00PM, Friday, July 29, 2011 at Wass Funeral Home in Beresford. A burial of Adolph's urn will be at Brule Creek Cemetery, rural Spink, SD.

Adolph's family appreciates your presence here today and invites you to join them for refreshments at the Beresford Senior Events Center following memorial services.
