Larry Joe Olson, 77, of Superior, passed away unexpectedly on December 22, 2025, at his home from natural causes. He was born on June 26, 1948, in Two Harbors to Harry and Virginia (Riley) Olson.

Larry grew up in Two Harbors and graduated from Two Harbors High School with the Class of 1967. After high school, he attended Vo-Tech, where he received his associate degree in accounting.

Larry worked for many years at Sonju’s as a service manager, later continuing in the same role at Benna Ford. He eventually retired after working as the service manager at Hermantown Harley-Davidson.

Larry enjoyed spending time snowmobiling, riding his Harley, and especially cherished time with his grandchildren. He was well known for welcoming friends and family into his garage to visit, and you could often find him watching out the window, admiring motorcycles as they drove by. Around Christmas time, many knew Larry for his decorated Harley, proudly displayed in the living room window for passersby to see.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Harry and Virginia Olson.

Larry is survived by his sons, Eric (Tecola) Olson of Two Harbors and Chris (Ingrid) Olson of Ramsey, MN; grandchildren, Jessica (Jesse), Bret (Dannie), Will, Eli, Tucker, Abigail, Tyler, Jillian, Kaitlynn and Alec; great-grandchildren, Carley, Lexi, Taylor, Cooper, Conor, Weslee, and Nazier; and sister, Rogene (Dwight) Moe.

Per Larry’s request, no services will be held at this time.
