Larry Charles Colbert

It is now 2019 and I saw Larry on road trip Nation today which brought me to this site on Google what an inspiring man see thought of and will remember many years later

To Larry's family.
Dorothy and I knew we had discovered a wonderful man when we first saw him. He came to our Lion's District Leader Dog Program in 1991. We really became friends when we were in Oklahoma City for a USA/Canada Lions Leadership Forum. We had a Chevy Van and Larry and Tanner rode with us from and to the facilities. Larry was so easy to be around. He always told me he could tell me by my voice because of the accent (Maryland's Eastern Shore) and deepness. However, he...

I was one of Larry's booking agents here in Phoenix. I just received the email and am shocked as I had not spoken with Larry for a while as bookings have been so poor in the recession. I didnt know that he was ill. My heart and prayers go to his family and that wonderful Banner. Larry was the opening act at an RV Showcase and I got to lead Banner to the stage. It was my first experience with a guide dog. Larry had said he will follow you, you don't need to lead him so we started off. Suddenly...

My Dad was such an awesome individual. He became part of my life when I was nine years old and has been a huge influence on me ever since. He taught me so much about never giving up on what you want and always to work hard. His laugh and sense of humor will be some of the best memories for me. He always supported me in whatever I chose to do and was the most awesome grandfather to my children. His passing will leave quite a hole in my heart. But I look forward to our reunion someday.

The Willmar Noon Lions of Willmar, Minnesota wish to express our condolences. Thank you, Larry, for being a man of vision.

Larry, I'll remember how you made me feel special, and I surely appreciated that. I'll remember the "you can do anything you want to do" attitude you projected. I'll remember how you helped make me a better Lion by example. I'll remember you as a classy gentleman at all times. But, Larry, most of all I'll remember how you made me laugh, and how you could know who and where I was, without fail! Thank you so much. Jan

We met Larry when we all lived in Young, AZ in the early 1980's. Had lots of good times, shared Thanksgiving dinner together, and his daughter Sharette has been part of our family since. Connected again in Portales, New Mexico years later when he came to speak at a Rotary luncheon. Enjoyed his book and have kept in touch via e-mail, through Sharette and articles about him and Banner... Larry had the most upbeat personality and managed to make the very most of his life, and to share his...

Larry enriched all of our lives with his great stories and always positive outlook. He always remembered and asked about my family. He was a true Lion at heart for his consideration of others. He will be missed.

A M F. Love you, Larry.
