Larson, who died last Thursday following an illness, was remembered with a procession of fire trucks from the Ladysmith, Bruce and Hawkins departments. The dependable pump operator was recently recognized for his nearly half-century of service to the department. He was awarded a plaque as Firefighter of the Year for 2010 and a retirement watch at his final roll call on Monday, July 19. His turnout gear was displayed at an emergency services memorial where flags flew at half-staff.
