Frank and Mary Ann Larmon were united in Holy Matrimony April 15, 1960. This union was blessed with four wonderful children, Patricia, Carmelita, Lucia and George, Jr.

Frank was a hard working man, leading a simple life and providing for his family the best way that he could. Most of his career was spent as a long haul truck driver, with the exception of five years working for the Kit Carson School District.

Frank loved to fish. He did not get to do a whole lot the last few years because of his work, but if he had the time, he would be on a bank somewhere with his pole.

He will always be remembered for his ornery behavior, quick remarks and pleasant smile.

Frank was preceded in death by his parents, George and Bessie Young.

Four children, their spouses, and families also survive, Patty and Monte Scott of Garland, Nebraska, Camelita and Russel Watson, II, Lucia and Henry Sell, Jr., and George, Jr. and Anita Young.

Frank=s brother and sister-in-law, John and Elizabeth Young, and a host of other relatives also survive.
