Belno R. Lange

Belno R. Lange passed to his heavenly home on April 1st, 2013, at the age of 88. Belno was born on May 28th, 1924 in Colome, South Dakota. Married to the late Marjorie Hansen for 61 years, he is survived by his daughter Starlayne Fox of Anaheim, son Belno Lange III of Orangevale, daughter Jinee Sargent of Folsom, daughter Jorie Baer of Orangevale and by five grandchildren, Shay and Kip Fox, Tristan and Briana Baer, and Brynn Sargent. He is also survived by his sister, Karen Madden of The Villages, Florida, nephews, Kurt Lange, Rick Lange, Britt West, Scott Lange, Tommy Madden and nieces Stephanie Candini, Brenda Lange, Jody Wooton, Tracey Cassanedas, Robyn Madrid, and Wendy Blakely. Bel was a recognized outdoors authority and personality throughout California and Northern Nevada know as "The Outdoorsman". Bel attended Concordia College of Milwaukee, WI and Concordia Lutheran Seminary of St. Louis, MO. He began in radio announcing and moved to television shortly thereafter. He was an avid fisherman, hunter, camper and guide to many. As a result he hosted a weekly outdoor television show (The Outdoorsman) for 28 years which featured "Bel's Bafflers" (outdoor trivia questions) while serving as Executive Producer, Production Manager and General Manager of KOVR, Channel 13. Bel also was very actively involved in his Lutheran church congregations. He enjoyed home improvement projects, all sports and took an active role in all of his children's and grandchildren's activities. He will be greatly missed, but his last thought to everyone is "Take Time to Enjoy the Great Outdoors." Memorial services will be held Sunday, April 14th, 2013 @ 2 PM at Light of the Hills Lutheran Church in Cameron Park, CA.
