Bernard Larson, co-owner of Moran’s Market for more 6 decades, passed away on Tuesday at the age of 88.
Bernie began his career at Moran’s Market on outer Forest Avenue in the early 1950s; he and Dorothy purchased the market in 1956. He dedicated his entire life to the market and was well-known by many people in the neighborhood.
When times were tough for families, Bernie was known to extend credit to customers in order for them to make sure their family was fed. He loved his many customers, whom he considered his extended family. Bernie and Dot were well-known for hosting many of the Portland firefighters from across the driveway, to join them for holiday meals.
Bernie was a long-timer here in Riverton; he’ll be missed Condolences to his family.
