Walter R. "Wallie" Larson was born Feb. 26, 1921, in Minneapolis, the son of Walter Edward and Mabel (Kruger) Larson. He grew up in Minneapolis and graduated from Roosevelt High School. Following his schooling he went to work for Rayette Inc. as a tool and die operator. After working for Rayette for many years he joined the Lakeland Tool and Engineering Company until his retirement.
