Just a short note to let you know how grateful and blessed I have been to have a friend like Larry. Thru 25 years of fishing together , we've had some of the best times of my life. I'll really miss him. Thanks for the times we've had Larry, may God bless.

I know that I can not speak at Larry's funeral but glad I can share this w/his family and friends. Larry was an amazing man. He had great courage and strength always. Larry was so proud of his wonderful wife Sharon, speaking very highly of her always. He loved and adored her. He was a terrific husband, father, grandfather, son and friend to all who were blessed to know him.Larry was my husband Roland's fishing partner and his closest friend for over 25 years. Roland was given a great gift from God having Larry in his life. I did as well. I am so glad I was able to tell Larry how much I loved and respected him. I put him in the top few men I have ever known. We had some great talks together and he taught me so much about life. I am sure he and Roland shared so much together as well.There is a hole in our hearts that can not be filled, as I am sure anyone who knew and loved him feel. He was kind, loving, generous and a very gentle man. We will all miss him so much.Larry would want us to remember the good times. He'll be missed by many. However, he will never leave us. He'll live on in our hearts forever. I want the family to know we are praying for them and love them dearly.Vicki and Roland Belzer
