James Monroe Larch

James Monroe “Jim” Larch left this earth on Monday, March 28th to rejoin his beloved wife of 62 years; Shirley Ann Addie. Born May 22, 1937 in Little Rock Arkansas, Jim was a man of many talents and several successful careers. Jim retired as an engineer of Teletype, taught many the love of bowhunting at Custom Archery, and ran a successful CNC business known as Larco Manufacturing. Jim & Shirley loved to ride, first on Harley-Davidson motorcycles and later in their Triumph and MG cars. Neither ever met a stranger nor hesitated to help a friend in need. Ever the avid storyteller, you knew you were about to hear something great when you saw that sparkle in his eyes. Jim was preceded in death by his parents, Monroe P. Larch & Billie B Bentley, brother, Michael, and son James Dominick. Left behind to cherish his memory are his beloved tomcat Thomas, daughters Mona (Ellis), & Diana (Bob), three grandchildren Mandy (Mike), Shannon, & Zack, four great grandchildren Jordan, Blake, Natalie, and Isabelle, and great-great granddaughter Addison.
