David Francis Belden

West Point, 1969

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Jim Hillebrand on October 24, 2024:

Dave was one of my West Point classmates and A3 company-mates. During our four years together Dave was a friend and loyal classmate, especially for the guys in Company A3. We enjoyed his confident demeanor, ready smile and easy-going attitude. For that, he will always be a part of us.

After graduation and Army service, Dave chose a path he never expected. It was Firstie Year Physics that planted the seed for the rest of his work life. He went back to school in nuclear engineering and subsequently managed several small companies involved in medical imaging and radioisotopes. That farm boy from Wisconsin even moved his wife, Kathy, and their four children to California. He battled many years of late-in-life health problems but still managed to enjoy his "nuclear" family and the life he never dreamed of.

We will miss you, Dave. "Well Done!"
