As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of God, family and friends. Please find comfort in the words found at Isaiah 61:1,2.

I have known and worked with Danny when I was a young nurse ,and Danny was a resident physician!! at Osteopathic Hospital in Philadelphia. I worked with him in his long and successful career in private practice.I visited him in later years at the retirement home and I remember sitting outside with him talking and laughing at remembrances! I had a special, loving connection with his family, and children. Good job, Danny, rest in peace!!!

It's difficult for me to find adequate words to describe my admiration and gratitude for Dr Daniel Belsky, an important mentor in my early professional development and the one who encouraged me to pursue a career in obstetrics and gynecology. A true gentleman and scholar, steady and fair department chairman and recognized leader in Osteopathic OBGYN, he will be forever missed. I offer my sincere condolences to his family. Without Dr Belsky's belief in me my professional trajectory would have been totally different. I deeply regret being unable to attend his memorial service due to current travel far from home. Rest in Peace Dr Dan.
