Larry R. Larson
Larry was united in marriage to Wanda E. Dosdall in 1970. The couple made their home in Phelps, along with their children Ward and Tonya, for many years before returning to Rhinelander in 2009. "Big Lar" was employed in construction for 20 years and finished his career with the Phelps Water and Sewer Department, retiring in 2005. Big Lar enjoyed hunting, watching the Packers play and meeting friends and family for morning coffee at the local diner. Larry's loving and kind heart was hidden behind a tough grizzly bear appearance. His stories and generosity will be remembered for a long time to come.
