Linda, Jim, Hilary, Shannon -
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this tough time. Your Dad was a wonderful guy and we always enjoyed him when we spent time with you at the house or the many events he would be at for the kids. We know you will continue to have and share wonderful and blessed memories of times with him. May you feel God's strength and comfort during this time and always.

Being a friend of Don's meant you knew someone who always greeted you with a smile and warm wishes. I had the honor of working with Don for several years and we stayed in contact afterwards. Don gave time and assistance to my son Aaron's Eagle Project and made sure that everything was designed for success. My family and I will miss this very kind man who made our lives a little more enjoyable.

Don Beletsky was always a kind, gentle man who was most generous. He was a loving husband and father, and extremely kind to our family. We have many memories of Camp Hickory, the family Bible camp that our family shared a cabin with his family. He was a great role model to all and will be deeply missed.

Don was a very gentle and kind person. As a close friend of the family, he always included me in family occasions and holidays. His memory will live on in my heart. I'll miss you dad.
