Remembering Larry today on his birthday. Reg and him will be sharing some good laughs.
Take care all,
Russ

Randy & Janet . Pearl & Mark and all of your Families. Praying for You today. That the sting of grief will not be so sad on Larry's one year since his passing. Praying the memories you carry in your heart causes you to smile. That the same hope Larry had in his Christ, Jesus gives all of us that same knowing we will see Larry again. Love you all!

It’s been one year since Pearl called us to tell us of Larry’s failing health and passing. Covid had made it difficult for any of us to get together in the past year which will have been hard for Larry as he loved to stay connected.
How we miss those phone calls of what’s going on in the family like Carole’s engagement!! He truly loved Family & Friends! I picture him chatting it up in Heaven , to think Vic & him might be doing that right now!! Big hugs Pearl , Randy and family! Hope to connect this summer !

What a wonderful and meaningful memorial for Larry yesterday. Thank you for the inspiration of a life which touched more people than we could have imagined. Feeling blessed.
Every day is a gift!!

From Joanne and Lois Block:
Thank you for the lovely celebration of Larry -on line. It was so fun to see and hear your stories and tributes. We are inspired by his life.
We have many great memories of family times together with the Schellenberg’s and kids growing up together at Main Centre. At the spur of the moment we would jump in our cars and head out to Swift Current, the lake, or to many other places. Errol and Larry were good friends and kept in contact right to the end. Seeing Larry at Errol’s funeral in February was such a blessing. Errol always knew what Larry was up to and often talked about how he was stronger with one arm than he was with two arms. Now they can re-connect again in heaven with whole healthy bodies.❤️
As we listened to stories about Larry today, I was thinking of this song that sounds like it was what Larry’s enjoyed in life:

Some of my fondest memories of Uncle Larry involved his exceptional ability to hold his nieces or nephews down and tickle us at the same time.

Uncle Larry was always so intentional when we saw him. Whenever he would visit he would call me over to sit with him so he could get caught up on every aspect of my life. I always appreciated how invested he was in all of us.

I will miss his contagious smile and laughter.

We love you Uncle Larry!

My cousin Larry was dearly loved although most of our lives were spent provinces apart. Larry always made an effort to stay in touch . He appreciated his Saskatchewan cousins who took their precious time to reach out to him . I know he was very close to his Mom and these last few years must have been difficult after her passing. . Larry was somewhat private but always happy to reconnect with family. Our prayers go out to his family and his friends at this time .

I always looked forward to a trip to Uncle Beno and Aunt Reanetta’s farm. A visit was never complete without a great meal, hearty laughter and it was always Larry who urged us to come outside so he could proudly give us “city cousins” the grand tour of the farm!
Every time I met Larry, he would smile his mischievous grin and say “How are you doing cuz”?
Keeping in touch with family was so important to Larry. Dad and Mom (Edgar and Helen Siemens) always appreciated his regular phone calls, his news about what was happening and his inquiries about our family. Even after Mom passed away, Larry continued to call Dad and keep him up to date about family and friends. I know Dad will miss those calls.
Our thoughts are with you, Randy, Pearl and your families.

Love and prayers,
Jennifer and Alan

As a child I remember Uncle Larry loved to tease my siblings and I. We always had to be on guard around him because any time we were within arms reach we were at risk of being tickled. He may have only had one arm, but he was strong and it was impossible to escape! Family and social connections were important to Uncle Larry and he made sure to reach out when I moved to Saskatoon. One of my favourite interactions was the time he took Ty and I out to one of his favourite spots for breakfast and then kicked our butts at pool afterwards!

Life was not always easy for Uncle Larry, but he always had a big smile on his face when I saw him. I have always admired him for that. I will miss you Uncle Larry.

Larry and I spent alot of time together when we were younger. Everything from family holidays Iat Sleeping Buffalo with the Scellenbergs to spending rime at the Main Centre rink on a Friday night. Larry was always a good friend who would do anything for you. You will be missed my friend. RIP.

Pearl you definitely described the Larry we all knew and loved! I’ve enjoyed reading the Tributes from Larry’s friends and the qualities they saw in Him, and realize he was rich in friendships ... things money cannot buy!

I am Larry’s cousin Marilynne.. doubly related! That means that any occasion for a relative gathering ( Siemens or Schellenberg) we were there together and let me tell you that was almost every Sunday in my childhood years ! So many memories of attending church together, going to each other’s homes, playing house, sledding , butchering chickens , hauling bales , riding the snowmobile or rather holding on for dear life as Larry or Randy drove! There was even an occasional dance party downstairs to uncle Beno’s cylinder phonograph!

One thing I remember about Larry is that he loved “good food”! He probably got his well-developed palate due to his Mother’s cooking skills!! Her homemade KFC was one of my favourites as well as chicken noodle soup with homemade Kielke :))  Larry would often ask if we had any deer sausage ( his favourite) but if he didn’t like the flavour or texture he’d be sure to tell you!!

Mom & I visited him a few times in his house in Delisle! It was clean , organized and his array of plastic containers for storing food was impressive!! How he did it all with his one arm , I’ll never know!

Herb and I enjoyed meeting him for coffee at the “Sisters Two Restaurant” where everyone was family to him! When he moved to Saskatoon ,a call from us to meet him at the local Tim’s would be a quick catch up “IF” it suited him to join us! Sometimes he would just say “ Can’t , I’m busy!!

Larry really was a great “cuz “as he often called me. I will truly miss his twinkling eyes, joking character and zest for life despite his circumstances. Larry you ran your race well ,now...Go rest high on that mountain
                               Son, your work on earth is done.
                                Go to heaven a- shoutin’
                                Love for the Father and the Son.

Our Love, Prayers and heartfelt sympathy to you Randy ,Pearl and families.
Much love, Herb & Marilynne and family
                                

Uncle Larry lived an unconventional life and didn’t just march to the beat of his own drum, but sometimes it seemed like he’d choose a tuba to make his beat even more unique :).

He could set aside his differences with laughter and connect with anyone in jest. He’d get a sparkle in his eyes and slap his knee as he’d tease his nephews and nieces. Few people can endure so many hardships and continue to laugh so heartily.

You will be missed Uncle Larry. Deepest condolences to you Aunt Pearl and Randy.

Larry, what can I say ... You definitely were a character. You were my friend, my chum, my partner, my confidant. Always had a deal of some kind going, whether it be smokes, eggs, chickens, fish ... the list goes on. I loved your smile, it was infectious, could always rely on you to bring a smile to brighten our day.

Larry and I spent many evenings playing cards, sucking down some suds (often, way too many in the early years), chatting, laughing, shooting the shit, enjoying each others company. He was ALWAYS eager to help someone out, whenever possible with a ride or a helping hand.

We will miss you dearly my friend. Will miss your company at our holiday meals. With your passing, I am missing a part of me, there is an emptiness that I fear, will never be filled until we meet again in the great beyond.

Larry Schellenberg, we are so lucky to have had you enter and touch our lives. I know, that you know, how much you were loved, my friend. I also know wherever you are now, it is now a better place, having you in it.

May you rest in peace Larry, you were taken from us much too soon. You are and will be sooooo missed, my friend.

Our sincere condolences to the family and his many friends.

Larry was a neighbor for many years. We spent many trips on the bus going back and forth to school. He had a helping heart and a ready smile. It was good to visit with him the few times we were able to connect over the past years. It was good to have a place for all the 'duck breasts' that the hunters left behind. Sending our sincere sympathy to the family.

My Wife and I met Larry about 20 years ago on the CB Radio and we had lots of good fun coffee visits with all of the other radio operators in the area. As Larry was known as Bandit on the CB Radio and he only had one arm due to a accident. Over the years of our friendship he came to be known as slot machine or one armed bandit to me Grease Monkey & my Wife Double Trouble. We went out for coffee, dinners, had BBQS, over the years of our friendship we became close and trusting friends. Slot machine we love ❤️ and miss you our friend rest easy. Once again we would like to send our condolences to Larry's family sorry for your loss.

Rest in Peace Larry. Mike and I always enjoyed our short visits when we would see you at Dave and Robs. You always had a sense of humor, were kind and knew where to find a good deal! :) You were liked by a lot of people and you will be missed. Cheers my friend.

Rest in Peace My Friend....One Day We will Drive another W900 Kenworth in Heaven. I Love You and Miss You Bro.

Here is how we described the events this past week to Jarrod. Beno, Reanetta, and Murray have probably been waiting anxiously for family to join them. Well, last week Larry arrived. What a joyful reunion that must have been! We really can't add anything to Pearl's original post. It was so well done in describing the Larry we knew. We send our sincere sympathy to the family.
