Virgil was raised on the family farm in Appleton, MN, where they raised cows, horses, chickens, and pigs and had an outdoor family dog Fido. Virgil had 3 siblings, Marcella, Sandra, & Arden. Shortly after graduating high school, he was united in marriage to Jeanette Lawson. This union was blessed with three children: Deborah, David, and Jennifer. Upon separation, Virgil found new hope in a life and union in marriage with Karen Larson. For many of his adult years, Virgil worked for Pro-Tech in the printed circuit business. He started at the bottom and moved his way up. As always, he took pride in his work and was always a hard worker. In his retired years, he enjoyed working at the Annandale park part-time and taking care of the grounds there. He & Karen most recently attended St. John's Lutheran church in Annandale, MN and have been attending for many years. Virgil passed away peacefully in the early evening of Friday, August 18th, 2023.

He was preceded in death by his parents Chester and Erna Larson and his sister Marcella (& Bernard) Westhausen, (Loren) Schake, and his nephew Douglas Schake. Virgil had several passions in life. He took pride in home ownership and his home projects. He couldn't sit still for very long and always had a project he was working on. He also had a lot of generosity, as he was always looking out for his neighbors and helping them with their yard work and handyman repairs as well as his own. He & Karen enjoyed several years of planting and harvesting a huge garden. His hobbies included doing woodworking projects, as well as enjoying many years of fishing, and golfing, and he always enjoyed playing cards and games with family & friends. He will be greatly missed by all that knew him. Blessed be the memory of Virgil Larson.
