William Rudolph Larson (Bill) passed away March 29, after a long battle with cancer. Bill was born in Appleton, Wisconsin to Bob and Jean Larson. He graduated from Lakeland Union High School in Minocqua and attended the University of Wisconsin where he received a degree in civil and environmental engineering.
