I send sincere condolences to Mrs. Bellagamba and the family. I became a patient of Dr. Bellagamba just after he graduated from dental school and I was at Mills College and stayed with him until he retired. My husband Walt Byron, who passed away in June 2009 also was his patient. We remembered him and Mrs. Bellagamba very fondly Sincerely, Yvonne Byron.
