Donald Bealko

Donald Bealko, age 80, passed away peacefully in his home on March 16, 2026, surrounded by his loving family. Don, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend, grew up in Cleveland, OH with his brother and his two sisters. He raised his family in upstate New York before spending more than 25 years in New Hampshire. He and his wife recently returned to New York to be closer to their daughter.

Don earned his bachelor's degree in chemistry from the University of Dayton and later completed his MBA at Indiana University. He spent much of his career with GE and Rivco before co-founding The Window Medics, where he became known for helping people solve their window repair challenges with patience, skill, and a genuine desire to be of service—right up until the days before he passed.

Don cherished spending time with family and friends, especially at the Woodlin Club, boating on Lake Winnipesaukee, and in Hilton Head, where he enjoyed playing tennis and golf with his wife, daughters, and lifelong friends. As "Papi" to his 2 grandchildren, he loved playing board games and watching them ski race and play softball and baseball whenever he could—much like he had for his own children. Don was an avid backyard gardener, a master griller, a worthy bridge partner, and a lover of travel. He had a big, infectious laugh, was quick to treat family & friends to a meal, and was a trusted giver of advice to many.

Don is survived by his devoted wife, his daughters and their spouses, his two grandchildren, his "baby" brother, and many loving extended family members.

Relatives and friends are invited to call at the Puritan Conference Center in Manchester, NH (245 Hooksett Rd.) from 10:30am - 12:00pm on Sunday, March 22nd. Since Don chose to donate his body to the Albany Medical College to help future health care providers, there will be no other service at this time. In lieu of flowers, gifts may be made to Saratoga Hospital Foundation (saratogahospitalfoundation.org) or the Community Hospice (communityhospice.org).

Don's family wishes to extend their deep, heartfelt gratitude to the staff at Saratoga Hospital and the Community Hospice for the exceptional care and compassion they showed Don and his family in his final days.
