My sympathy to John's family. I worked with John at UMKC. I often talked to him about difficult cases and he was always open to listening and teaching. He had a heart of gold and would take patients at all times who were hurting. I often thanked him for his generosity for serving those who were poor and in pain. I can hear Jesus saying to him, "Whatever you did for the least of these you did for me." What a great husband and father you all had. I will greatly miss him. +Blessings

I offer my heartfelt sympathy to your whole family and for all of his beautiful friends. What a beautiful soul, what a beautiful obituary. May he rest in peace and may you find comfort in that. May his memory forever be a blessing.

Dr. Bellome was a very personably educator who was involved in the shaping of a great many young dentists and Oral & Maxillofacial surgeons. He will be greatly missed, particularly that smile of his.

Judy I am sorry for your loss. Its been awhile, I remember a good cook and a nice man

What a beautiful tribute to a wonderful man. I am so grateful to have had spent time visiting with John and Judy this past May. Old friendships never die, they are tucked into the crevices of our heart. You r missed,John. Rest In Peace and be the angels gardener. Love, Lynn Olson
