Mr. Jack Larsh passed away on
September 25, 2025, after a slow battle with
Alzheimer’s dementia. He was surrounded by family
singing some of his favorite songs (Give a cheer,
give a cheer, for the boys who drink the beer, in
the basement of old Leadville High…) to usher him
out. He’d had 92 years of fun and love. The light
left the room as he passed. Mr. Jack Larsh started
teaching at Fremont Union High School District. He
taught driver’s education (in the classroom) and
driver’s training (in the car) for many years. Once
the district moved away from having employed
teachers do this, he taught business and typing for
the last 10 or so years of his career at Lynbrook
High School. (So, Jack taught arguably the most
important classes many students had in high school –
driving and typing). In addition to teaching, Jack
coached boys football and girls softball. He coached
his son and grandson in Little League and in AYSO
soccer. He was a skier, a fisherman, a backpacker, a
camper, and a joker. It was often a party when he
was around. Mr. Larsh is survived by his
wife, Jane; his son, Jim; his daughter, Lona; and
three grandchildren, two granddaughters and a
grandson.
