Harold "Huck" Lawrence Larson, age 85, of Cumberland peacefully entered eternal life on Tuesday, September 17, 2024 at his home.

Huck graduated from the class of 1956 at Grantsburg High School and soon after joined the military to serve in the US Army.

After starting a family, they moved to California for some time before relocating back to the upper Midwest, where Huck became an avid golfer and bowler. He enjoyed using these talents to coach many athletes, and help them become the best version of themselves in these areas. He was a role model and a mentor for the youth, and taught them not only how to win, but also how to graciously lose and further improve themselves.

If Huck saw you working on a project, he took it upon himself to lend a helping hand, which usually led to new friendships.

He will be greatly missed by his wife, of 65 years, Elaine; children, Colleen (Dave) Pederson, Shawn (Scott) Maro, and Kevin (Liz) Larson; grandchildren, Joshua Gruber, Melissa (Adam) LaFavor, Nicholas (Nikki) Maro, Jennifer (Corey) Schuh, Jessica (Adam) Zimbleman, Johnathan (Jenna) Maro, Sam (Bree) Larson, Caroline (Marshall) Baker, KC (Kristen) Larson, Annie (Caleb Newell) Larson; 16 great-grandchildren; six siblings; as well as numerous nieces, nephews and friends.

Huck was preceded in death by his parents and seven siblings.

A Memorial Service with military honors will be held at 10:30 AM on Saturday, September 21 at the Cumberland American Legion Post 98. A Celebration of Life and refreshments will follow until 1 PM.

Future interment will take place at the Riverside Cemetery in Grantsburg.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial donations be directed to Mrs. Huck Larson to support junior golf and bowling programs. These donations can be brought to the service on Saturday, or sent in care of Skinner Funeral Home to 1245 1st Ave. Cumberland, WI 54829.

The family would like to extend a special thanks to St. Croix Hospice for their exceptional care of Huck.

Skinner Funeral Home of Cumberland is serving the family.
