My deepest sympaty to the Bell family on the passing of your father. I haven't seen much of you since my days on Juniper St. but I remain appreciative of your friendship as a former neighbor, and think of your family often when I pass through Elizabeth Lakes. May your father rest in peace.

My deepest and most sincere condolences to the family and friends of Col. Bell. I was blessed to be at The Chamberlin while Col. Bell was residing there and he was my favorite resident. He enjoyed sharing his stories about his family and he always talked about taking one more ride in a speed boat across the Bay that he loved looking at every day. Col. Bell was always thankful for the martini that was waiting for him at his table and he truly made us smile. He will be remembered as a true gentleman that cherished his family.
