Terry A. Larson, 87, of Creede, CO., passed away on May 10th, 2022, at his home surrounded by

family.

Terry was born on March 1, 1935, to Harry and Mary Larson in Creede, CO. After graduating

from Creede High School in 1953, he attended Trinidad State before joining the Navy.

Terry served in the U.S. Navy for 4 years, achieving the rank of AE1, and transitioned into the

Air Force. His service moved him and his family across the world, including his favorites in

Germany, Bitburg and Hahn Air Force bases. After many years of service in the Air Force, Terry

retired with the rank of SMSGT.

During his transition from the Navy to the Air Force, Terry met and married Beverly Jean Foster

of Palo Alto, CA. They were married for 66 years. Terry and Beverly had 3 children: Jeffrey,

Curtis, and Linda.

When he retired from the Air Force and moved to Creede, Terry worked at the Bulldog Mine for

the Homestake Mining Company as Chief Electrician. He also worked for Mineral Engineering

and at the Summitville Mine.

After retiring from all mining operations, Terry pursued many hobbies including rebuilding

cars, hunting, tinkering with clocks and antiques. He enjoyed sharing coffee and cookies in his

sunroom with his friends, spending time at cabins in Spar, and chopping firewood. He and

Beverly would head to Berthoud, Colorado often to spend time with Linda’s family.

Terry was predeceased by his father Harry L. Larson, mother Mary L Larson (Davis), and

brother Monte Jay Larson. Terry is survived by his wife Beverly Jean (Foster), sons Jeffrey

(Susanna) and Curtis, daughter Linda (Scott Pickert), grandchildren James Terry Pickert - J.T.
