Jim Larson lived his entire life at the farm place near Dresser, Wisconsin. He attended Bear Lake School for eight years and went on to graduate from St. Croix Falls High School. While in high school he was active in FFA and wrestled. Jim always loved working on cars and large equipment. He had many work adventures; Fabritech, over-the-road trucking, owned and operated a gas station, Trollhaugen, and worked as a bus mechanic for St. Croix Falls Schools.
Jim hunted, snowmobiled, was a Harley owner, downhill skied, owned a boat and camper and even more. Jim loved to share endless adventure stories with everyone he met.
Despite the fact that his health was declining, he continued to work hard. His many good friends have stayed by his side for all these years.
