My sincere condolences to Dr. Belanger's family. Dr. Belanger was so much more than an orthodontic professor; he also taught us life lessons and gave us great inspiration. I always looked forward to the days that I would see patients with Dr. Belanger. He truly cared about our patients and us, his students. He always inquired about our own families and how we were doing. He taught me to invest money and how to build a successful practice. Dr. Belanger had such a huge impact on my life and I am forever grateful for his kindness and wisdom. My heart is so heavy hearing of his passing; I will always fondly remember Dr. Belanger.

I give thanks for the wisdom and compassion that Bud has given to us all. His friendship and counsel are true treasures for me. The conversations, meals, and time spent teaching with Bud are joyfully remembered. My comfort comes from knowing that Bud has been called by a merciful God to life everlasting. Love you Bud. I will miss you.

My condolences to the family. Dr. Belanger was what you call a compassionate, considerate person. He always made me laugh whenever he would come to the Grad Ortho Clinic at UT. He will be sorely missed. Peaceful journey Dr. Belanger.

A person which profesionaly inspired me during my orthodontic training 40 years ago: one of my mentors...Always willing to share his knowledge with others. Despite the time elapsed time since then, and the existing distance between our cities, he was frequently in my thoughts...actually just thought about him last night. Our condolences to his family.
