Leo Alden Larsen, 89, of Idaho Falls, Idaho, passed away on Feb. 7, 2019, rejoining his parents, Alden George Larsen and Irma Green Larsen, his brothers, Dean Larsen and Oscar Larsen, his sister, Lila Simmons, his granddaughter, Lisa Gamett, and his great, great nephew and namesake, Leo Frandsen.
Leo was born and raised and attended school in Menan. One of his earliest responsibilities was milking two cows each morning and then riding on a horse along the fence line allowing the cows to eat the grass in the ditches by the road. As he grew older, he always had a job to help out with family finances. He was a paperboy, janitor at Walgreen’s, and a sheepherder. His family moved to Idaho Falls where he graduated from Idaho Falls High School. He attended Seminary and had the lead in the Seminary play. He married Geraldine (Jerry) Fisher on Nov. 28, 1947.
Leo worked at and later owned Dad Clay’s Garage. His career was as a district sales representative for American Oil Company (AMOCO). His hard work with the company was rewarded with a trip to Hawaii for him, his wife, several of his gas station dealers, and his district manager. In the late 1940’s he bought Western Amusement Company.
