LARSEN, Christian T. March 10, 1926 - February 17, 2008 Christian Thrige Larsen passed away peacefully at the Peter Lougheed Hospital on Sunday, February 17, 2008, at the age of 81 years. He was born in Rasted, Denmark, into a family of eleven brothers and sisters. Chris and his brother, Niels, immigrated to Canada in 1950 with a sense of adventure and opportunity. In 1961 Chris purchased a quarter section of land, which he farmed and called home for the next forty-seven years. During those years Chris made many friends, and they, along with family members, will miss him dearly. Chris will be greatly missed by his niece, Susan (Scott McCarron) Larsen, and his nephews, Paul (Beverley) Larsen, and Kim (Carolynn) Larsen, all of whom reside in Calgary with their families. He will also be lovingly remembered by his sister-in-law, Kirstine Larsen, of Calgary, and his surviving brother and sisters, Bent Larsen, Jenny Larsen and Mary Larsen, all of whom live in Denmark. Friends are invited to join the family for a Memorial Service in the Chapel of Mountain View Funeral Home on Sunday, February 24 at 1:00 p.m. Arrangements entrusted to MOUNTAIN VIEW FUNERAL HOME and CEMETERY, 17 Avenue S.E. at Garden Road (1.5 km east of 84 Street S.E.).
