Earl owned and operated Larson's Shoes in Lindstrom for 21 years. He was involved with real-estate and land development. He was an avid Vikings and Twins fan and looked forward to each season with a Super Bowl or World Series in his sights. Earl was a loving husband and father who could never be replaced. He left this life showing us how to cope with what life sometimes throws at us and fought through the bad times with determination. We will love him forever and when we meet again we can take up where we left off - for eternity.
