Before joining the VMS Board of Directors in 2018, Director Beldner was a United Laguna Woods Mutual Board of Directors Past President. As a director, he served on many committees for United and GRF, welcomed prospective buyers as Village docent and, as a 32nd-degree Mason, was President of Masonic Families Organization of Laguna Woods Village. He enjoyed membership in the Chicago Club, the Niftys Club, the Film Club, Friends of the Village and the Community Civic Association.
He is survived by his wife Cheryl; his children Kevin, Todd and Sabrina Beldner; three grandchildren; and five great grandchildren.
