The Bakersfield Californian 
George L. Larson
Oct. 12, 1916 - Feb. 18, 2005

A celebration of Georges life was held February 21, 2005, in a private 
ceremony. Mr. Larson was best known by children in Kern County as a substitute 
teacher. 

George was born in Lankin, ND, on his parents farm. He later served in the 
army for WWII, as both a medic and a cook.

His first wife, Marylou Praska, was responsible for urging him to go to 
college. Together, they traveled and taught until 1986. 

In late 1987, when George was widowed, he married Marilyn Ann Alger. George 
was a generous and supportive to Anns children, Deanna and Dean. He later 
became an instant grandpa to Chris and Lisa Ellis, Sandy Foxx, and Troy 
Whalen. 

Even with failing health, George wanted to be around friends and family, 
keeping his sense of humor.

The Lankin, ND, American Legion will have a service for him in the Spring 
where he will be laid to rest with his original family. Georges strong 
presence, laughter, and jokes will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
