Arimo….Lynn Richard Larson of Arimo, Idaho, passed away on Monday, December 3, 2012, at the age of 71. He died as he lived, working to provide for his family. He was born on December 13, 1940, in Logan, Utah, to Lynn Alma and Dorothy Bench Larson. Lynn grew up in Preston, Idaho and graduated from Preston High School.
