Caring for Pete and his family is the LeMieur Funeral Home in Little Falls, MN. Peter Charles Larsen was born on December 3, 1941, in Little Falls, MN, to the late Waldemar and Ella (Olson) Larsen. He graduated from Little Falls High School in 1959. On June 15, 1963, Pete was united in marriage to Neoma Noe at First Lutheran Church in Little Falls. Pete first worked at Glasspar Boat Works in Minneapolis. In 1967, he started working at Larson Boats in Little Falls, where his strong work ethic and dedication led him to the position of Maintenance Supervisor, a role he held with pride for many years until his retirement in 2005. Pete was an active member of the 2 Cylinder Club and AA. He enjoyed working and driving his John Deere tractors, woodworking, cutting wood, fishing, hunting and attending stock car races. His faith guided him through life’s blessings and challenges, giving him strength and hope that he shared with those around him. One of Pete’s greatest joys was traveling with the love of his life, creating memories together and embracing every adventure side by side. Their love was an example of commitment, friendship, and enduring devotion—a love that inspired everyone who knew them. Pete’s greatest legacy, however, is the family he loved so deeply. He was a steady presence, a source of wisdom, laughter, and encouragement, and someone whose love will continue to live on through each generation. Although our hearts are broken, we are grateful for the time we shared with him. We find comfort knowing that his faith has carried him home, where he is at peace. Pete will be forever loved, deeply missed, and never forgotten. His life was a blessing, his memory a treasure, and his legacy will remain in our hearts always. The family wishes to thank the staff at Quiet Oaks Hospice for their loving care of Pete. Pete is survived by his wife of 63 years Neoma (Noki) Larsen; sons, Allen Larsen and wife Kathy and Dale Larsen and Laurie Larsen; grandsons, Ricky, Troy, Zachary, Nathan, Kyle and Gage; great-grandsons, Kenyon and Miles. He was preceded in death by his parents, Waldemar and Ella Larsen; half-sisters, Harriette Jensen and Naomi Morgan; half-brother, Curtis Larsen; along with many uncles, aunts, cousins and friends
