<h3>Capt. Arnold C. Larson
Capt. Arnold C. (“Jake”) Larson U.S.A.F. (ret.), died Dec. 29, 2021, age 87.</h3>
Cause of death was Temporal Disenfranchisement. He was born in Washington, D.C. His parents, hearing of the event, absconded to China, courtesy of the U.S. Navy. He was able to join them for enjoyable tours in China, Japan, Philippines – returning to China with them in time to be in Shanghai whilst it was being shelled and bombed by the Japanese. The excitement proving too much, the family returned to the Philippines, arriving in time for a natural disaster – the birth of his sister. Larson Senior was commissioned at this time. The Japanese took such umbrage that they started WWII. Mother and children returned to the U.S. whilst father remained to carry out bilateral negotiations. After WWII, Larson, The Lesser, enlisted in the Navy in time for the Korean War – attended and flunked out of the Naval Academy. He then enlisted in the Air Force, married, made SSgT, attended OCS, was commissioned, was an ICBM Launch Officer and Air Traffic Control Officer. He was stationed in Japan. He took a year’s vacation in Viet Nam, arriving in time for the 1968 TET holiday season. After returning to the U.S., he retired after 20+ years of service. He was divorced, became a mental health technician/therapist, and finally retired in 1982. Location/status of ex-family is unknown.
Jake enjoyed building/flying rubber powered free flight scale airplane models. He was also known for the fact that females found him to be utterly resistible. He is survived by everyone else in the world alive at the time of his death.
To everyone reading this, please know that dad (Jake) wrote this himself, and I think he would get an absolute kick in the pants to know it got printed word for word, spelling corrections, being the exception.
