Larson, Milton N. Age 82, of Falcon Heights, passed away Nov. 25, 2014. Born Aug. 11, 1932 on the family farm at Castle Rock, Grant Co., Wis., of Norwegian ancestry, Milt married Jean Slocum at Castle Rock on Dec. 6, 1953. Milt served two years in the U.S. army and taught high school in Thomson, Illinois. He then won a scholarship from the National Science Foundation to pursue an M.S. in Science Education, which he earned from the Univ. of Northern Iowa in 1961. Milt and Jean served as Lutheran missionaries in Madagascar, where Milt was principal of the American School at Fort Dauphin, 1962-1980, and taught high school math and science. Returning to the U.S.A. in 1980, Milt taught at Minnehaha Academy in Minneapolis until his retirement in 1997. He was dedicated to Jesus and is remembered fondly for his interests in earth science, his jokes, and his twinkling eyes. His quiet wisdom touched many children, coworkers, and friends. Milt is preceded in death by his parents, Jule Larson and Cora Williams; and brother, James Larson. He is survived by wife, Jean; children Nordeen (Arlene Libby), Carolyn (Jan Tenbruggencate), Pier (Michelle Boardman), and Maren (Ying Liu); and grandchildren Anthony Larson, Milan Liu, and Kathryn Liu.
