Dr. Bobby D. Bell

We had just read the Bell Christmas Letter and later checked my email and saw the sad news. The Bell family is so special to us and we were so happy to have them stay with us a few summers back. I was especially glad my son, Casey, got to meet Bobby. I only wish Bobby had gotten that helicopter ride Casey promised him. We will miss this great,compassionate man.
Heaven is the richer for your and our loss. Our prayers are with you and the family.

Betty, Lora, Valeria and families,
Pastor Bell had a profound impact on the Philipsburg, PA community - he was loved by the congregation at First Baptist Church and sorely missed when he left. He was so active and visable with social services and the hospital visitation ministry. Everyone in town knew him and loved him. Bobby was a true testimony to the Lord's grace in one's life - he lived it to the fullest and radiated with the light of God in everything he did! Many prayers go out...

Dear Mrs.Bell and Valeria, I was so sorry to hear about Dr. Bell,s passing. I attended The First Baptist Church in Philipsburg while he was Pastor there. I was just a teenager then and had great respect for Pastor Bell. My deepest sympathies to your family.

Dear Mrs Bell, Valeria, and Lora,

We are saddened to hear of Dr. Bell's death, but glad to know that he is with our Father, and with Larry. We trust you feel the loving arms of our loving heavenly Father around you at this time as well.

Gerald and Kristin Ziemer

Lora and family,

You have been and will continue to be in our prayers. May the Lord comfort and give you strength. We are grateful that we had a opportunity to know Dr. Bell and to hear of his ministries. His desire to serve our Lord was obviously passed along as was evident in Larry's life. Please know we are here for you if there is anything we can do. We love you, Roger and Shelley

Though I didn't know Dr. Bell, I had Laura as a student many years ago and have been blessed through your testimony of strength and trust in trials. May the grace of God strengthen you each day and may the Lord draw close during times of loneliness.

Just a note to say I will miss an honorable veteran although he never pressed for details of service time
and his service to our community and it children thru his involvement in the community and Kiwanis

I have fond memories of Chaplain Bell from when I was a child in Germany. He was always a friend to the children in the neighborhood. I was very saddened to hear of his death. My thoughts are with all of you now.

Dear Bell Family,

The limited time that I spent with Dr. Bell (as he visited Sunday School with Larry and Lora) I know that he was special. Larry was also a Special man indeed. We feel blessed to have had a friendship with Larry and contact with Dr. Bell during their time on earth. Heaven is sweeter and blessed to have them both.

We are praying for all of you at this time. God is Good. All the time God is Good.
