The Bell family all remember Uncle Franklin and Aunt Thelma and their dogs. They always brought fun times when they visited next door. Our sympathies to Mrs. D., Barbara, Bob, Greg, Scott and Jennifer and all family members.

Very sorry to hear about your loss. I remember Franklin and Thelma from Thompson Street and the hikes we used to go on with Jack. I even worked for Franklin for a short while at DuPont. I have many memories of Franklin and Thelma which I pass along to my Children and Grand Children. They can't believe we used to hike over Snake Hill and up Mt Beacon and around the Country Club looking for balls. He will surely be missed.
