A George R Larson died in Ukiah California in 1993. His obit mentions these children who would be grandchildren of Signe:
Robert Craig Larson (who predeceased his father)
Karen Larson
Bruce A Larson of Ukiah California
David R Larson of Negaunee, Michigan
and 3 grand children mentioned.
So no sons named Richard unless it's David Richard Larson?
Here is a family tree for George R Larson but there are two women assigned as mother:
