So sad to hear about Dr. Bell. He was not only our family eye doctor, but also a family friend. My memories of him include many nights at Heine Meine and later years at Jeremiah's. He was a gem! My thoughts are with you all.

Dr. Tom and I worked together at Ferguson Optical. I missed him when he retired. His contribution to the vision of the many patients he provided will continue even after his passing. Prayers to his family and friends for their loss.
