William Clifford 'Bill' Larsen
William Clifford “Bill” Larsen passed away Nov. 23, 2018.
He was born Oct. 13, 1955, in Prairie du Chien. He was happily raised on two farms, first by Seneca (overlooking the Mississippi) and then between Steuben and Wauzeka. He graduated from Wauzeka-Steuben schools in 1973 and attended SWTC for farm management. He fell in love and married Rosanna Wier in 1988. Rosanna and Bill made their home in Wauzeka. They had two daughters Anna and April. Bill worked at a number of manufacturers in Prairie du Chien where he always had a smile and a ready wit. Bill enjoyed his family and pets and he was a expert on TV westerns. Whenever asked how things were, his answer was always “pretty good, pretty good.”
Bill is survived by his wife, Rosanna; daughters, Anna and April (Francis Fry Jr.) of Wauzeka; grandson, Ethan Joseph Fry; brother, John (Kris Zadrazil) of Boscobel; almost adopted sister, JoDena Dittman of Wauzeka; several sisters- and a brother-in-law.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Clifford and Edna Larsen.
