Dr. Wilbert Willoughby "Bill" BELCH M.D., FRCSC, FACS

Sending sincere condolences to the Belch family on behalf of all of the physicians and professional staff at PRHC. Dr. Belch was a gentleman beloved by staff, physician colleagues, patients and families, and is remembered for his exceptional skills, compassion and sense of humour. We are all so grateful for his incredible life and legacy.

Our condolences to the Belch family. I grew up as neighbours on the Fallis Line and knew the Belch
family very well. He was a superb doctor and
surgeon and I had a couple of major surgeries
by him. I ca still remember him riding his unicycle
in the hospital.

Tim and family, with blessings and prayers, please accept my condolences. Though it has been many years since we attended and played hockey at Crestwood SS. I fondly recall the stories of the farm. As well I will also be grateful of the care Dr. Belch showed our families.

We knew Bill as a fellow bison rancher and a reliable source of advice on all things `´bison´´ in those pioneer days. An exceptional man we shall never forget. Our whole family sends warm thoughts to the Belch family.

Our sincerest condolances to the families of Mr. Belch. Weve been good neighbours for at least 40 yrs. Great man to have known R.I.P. The Harrisons

Sympathies to the Belch family. What a sweet man. I was with a group from St Jos who every year had our own Academy Awards. When Dr Belch retired, we were the entertainment for his retirement party at Trent Universities Grand
Hall. What a fun night that was. He will be missed, and always remembered.

Condolences to all the Belch family, on the loss of Husband, Father, Grandfather, brother. I had the pleasure of knowing him over many years of working in the OR. A kind, gentle man with a lovely sense of humour! He liked to entertain with his unicycle, Santa outfits! And was always there for special events.

Dr. Belch put my compound fractured leg from a motorcycle accident back together in around 1959 when I was 18 and I always had the greatest respect for him. Rest In Peace, you deserve it.

Thinking of you at this time- May his journey to the other side be peaceful. Dr. Belch was a true gentleman and it was a an honour to have had the opportunity to working by his side for many years. Keep his memories close to your heart and you just might have the opportunity to hear him either riding his unicycle or a buffalo

Dr. Belch was a wonderful kind caring man. Truly one of a kind.
My deepest sympathy to all his family. May you find peace in all your memories.

Sorry for your loss, always remember your Buffalo story.
Tim and family.

I spent many hours with Dr. Belch in the operating room at Peterborough Civic. He was always a gentleman and a great surgeon. It was a privilege to have work it him and I have many fond memories of thisee "good old days". My sympathies and prayers to his family.

In my 40 plus years of nursing I have never met a kinder, more genuine soul. It was always a pleasure to see him with his patients and his interactions with staff was the essence of gentlemanly. My condolences to his family, and thank you for sharing him with us over the years.

Sincere sympathy during this stressful time. I have many fond memories of Dr Belch and the Belch family going back many years when I lived in Ontario.

I had the opportunity to work with Dr. Belch for many years. He was a wonderful man and excellent surgeon. He cared for his patients and the nursing staff. He also had a sense of humour. At Xmas he brightened the day arriving wearing a Santa hat, riding a unicycle down the Operating Room corridor. He will be missed by so many.
