Larson, Harold O.

Harold Oscar Larson, 85, of Brockton and Onset, passed peacefully on Monday, March 12, at his home in Onset with his family by his side. Born on December 19, 1926, in North Easton, he was the son of the late Oscar and Julia (Anderson) Larson.

He lived in Brockton for 55 years and enjoyed spending summers in Onset with his family and trips to Florida and Sweden. Harold was proud of his Swedish heritage and enjoyed keeping in touch with family there. He attended the Community of Christ Church and many of their activities.

In his early years, Harold was a proprietor of Richfield Gas Station in Brockton. He then worked for Churchill Linen Service for many years before retiring.

He saw the best in everyone and everything. He was a friend for life of everybody he ever met, young or old. He loved and valued all children, especially his grandchildren and nieces and nephews.

Harold was the beloved husband of Evelyn L. (Leonard) for 57 years. He was the father of Louise Hannington and her husband, Glen, of Canton, Sharon Fundin and her husband, David, of Brooklyn, CT, and Peter Larson and his companion, Trudy Thomas, of Middleborough. He was the brother of Marion Bourget and her husband, Edward, of Mansfield, and the late Judy Hickey and Tina Nyrell. His grandchildren, Nicole and Tevis Hannington, and Hillary and Shelby Fundin, were given the gift of time with their RaRa.

A celebration of his life will be held this summer. The family wishes to express their sincere gratitude to all who cared for him during his years of “Old Timers” (Alzheimer’s) as he called it. Remembrances may be made in his name to VNA of Cape Cod Hospice, 434 Route 134, Suite D3, South Dennis, MA 02660. To sign guestbook, please see dockrayandthomasfuneralhome.com.
