Dr. Belsky and I began our careers at Kaiser the same year, 1955. When he retired, we were working together at Harbor City. He was always the same: a caring, compassionate MD with a good sense of humor.

Your father was a special man who raised a wonderful daughter and nurse. You did everything possible to care for him, and will always cherish those moments of holding his hand. Now trust our Lord and Savior to bless you and uphold you through this time of great loss. Luv you Marsha, God bless your family.

Marsha (and family-and the rest of the Belsky family). I didn't get to meet Dr. Belsky personally but I can see what a positive impact his life will have for years to come. Not only was he professionally respected as mentioned by others on this site; but his greatest legacy will be his children and grandchildren (some of whom I know). His influence shines through his daughter in her knowledge of medicine and in her loving, caring and fun personality that she brings to all of us who know her. I'm so sad and sorry he is no longer here; but his spirit and life will always be present in those he loved and left behind. Rest in peace...my love to all of you who are mourning....
