LARRY H. NELSON

Larry H. Nelson, 63, of Duluth, passed away Friday, Feb. 22, 2013, in St. Luke’s hospital hospice after a short but hard battle with cancer.

Larry was born Jan. 3, 1950, in Duluth, to Oscar and Hazel Nelson. He was a 1968 graduate of Denfeld High School. On May 26, 1970, he married Judy Anstett. Larry worked at Minnesota Power for over 30 years, retiring in 2011.

After Larry’s love for his family, his big interests were cars, the cabin and guns. He was a member of the Minnesota Street Rod Association, the National Street Rod Association, and the National Rifle Association.

He was preceded in death by his parents and his grandpa, Harry Nelson.

Larry is survived by his loving wife of 43 years, Judy; children Julie (Ken) Rupert of Coon Rapids, Minn., and Cory Nelson of Duluth; grandchildren Jessica, Jason, Tommy and Danny; great-grandson Johnny; and many nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

I worked with Larry for about 10 years at Minnesota Power. The guys in the garage all loved Larry. He had a great sense of humor. I enjoyed talking to Larry about hot rod projects and Back to the 50's weekend. I learned alot of old school hot rod advice from him. He was a really cool guy. The boys at the M.P. garage will dearly miss Larry. Chris Chesney

Sad to learn of Larry's passing. I had hoped for him to enjoy retirement. Rest in peace.
