Harold BELCHER Obituary

Harold William Belcher Jr.

Today I begin again. Today I begin again, Lord, by giving thanks to you. Today I will remember, Lord, that you're with me in all I do. Today I will deal with the present, Lord, not the future, nor the past. Today I will tackle one thing at a time, Lord, one problem, one challenge, one task. Today I will be kind and generous, Lord, toward everyone I meet. Today I will have faith, Lord, let go of worry and just be.

-Laura Hensley

I met Bud in July for the first time while my boyfriend (Chris Notestein) and I were visiting his family in Virginia. Bud made me feel very welcome during my stay and he was very interested in getting to know me. He and Cheryl treated me like part of the family and I will always remember that.

I knew Bud for over 20 years. We met through his dad (Harold) at work.
We have enjoyed his character and years of friendship. We'll miss the quality time that Harold, my son Blake, and I had together. We know that he's in a better place and also believe that eventually we'll all be together again so with that in mind....I look forward to seeing Bud again.

Bud is now in Heaven with his mother, the late Marianne Elisabeth Belcher Taylor. May God send holy angels to minister to those that loved him and to comfort them at this difficult time. You were loved and will be missed.

Bud was an amazing person and had the faith that many would love to have. We are so thankful that we got to visit with him earlier this summer. He loved God and his family very much. We pray that God will comfort Cheryl and the rest of the family during this difficult time.
