Carl always enjoyed dancing. During a dance at the Aneta pavilion, he met the love of his life Florence Kueber. They were married on June 9th, 1948 at the Sacred Heart Catholic church in Aneta. In 1950, they started a new farmstead where they lived for 62 wonderful years. Here they raised their four children and enjoyed frequent visits from grandchildren. The farmstead also became home to many relatives when they returned to visit the area.
Carl was an active member of the community. He was on the Logan school board until it closed, the Logan township board, the Good Samaritan board of Aneta, and was a 4-H leader for five years. He and his wife were members of the Sons of Norway (Petersburg ND) and the Elks Lodge (Grand Forks ND). They also were members of Northwood's Parent Teachers Association. In 1963, Carl Larsgaard's farm was chosen for the Western Grand Forks County Soil Conservation award. One of the activities he enjoyed the most was working at the Northwood Museum. Carl dedicated forty-five years to the museum, first as a worker and later as the curator.
After his retirement from farming in 1989, he continued to enjoy farm life by watching the crops grow. He and his wife took many evening drives ending with supper at a favorite café.
The loves of his life include his wife, children, grandchildren, family, friends, farming (especially swathing), visiting at local establishments (Northwood Flower Shop and Aneta Cenex), attending auction sales, working in his shop (especially in later years), craft welding and his dog Pepper. In June 2008 Carl and Florence celebrated their 60th anniversary. This was a highlight of their life as they celebrated the event with a family reunion dinner at their farm.
He is survived by his wife, Florence of Aneta and four children; Jim (Marci) of Richmond, KY, Jerry (Deb) of Anchorage, AK, Joan (Rob) Gonzalez of Burnsville, MN, and Judy Nesset of Nashua, NH. He is also survived by eight grandchildren, Kathy, Richard, Lisa, Mathew, Kimberly, Christopher and Michael and Katy; five step-grandchildren, Rudy, Crystal, Heidi, Bianca and Jenissa; eight great grandchildren and 6 step great grandchildren. He is also survived by one sister, Gusta Hilden, one brother-in-law, four sisters-in-laws and many nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents, three sisters (Selma, Clara, Olga), and five brothers (Martin, Paul, Albert, Gerhard and David).
Funeral services will be held at 11:00am on June 28th at St. Stevens Catholic Church in Larimore with a viewing one hour prior. A visitation will be held Wednesday, June 27th from 5:00-7:00pm with a 7:00pm prayer service at the Bilden Funeral Home, Northwood, ND. Interment will be at Silent Hill Cemetery, rural Aneta.
