Dear Bell Famly -
I was sorry to hear about Craig's passing. I worked with Craig on the Sylvania Campus from 1976 to his retirement in 2003. As a faculty member, Craig and I worked on several committees together. His passion to help our students succeed in their educational goals and as well as their personal lives was apparent to me early on in our professional association. I found his calm, respectful and steady leadership helpful in many situations. I hope your fond and loving...

My deepest condolences to the Bell family and friends.

Blessings and Grace to Craig's family and friends. Growing up Craig and Dennis it saddens me to now learn that Craig and I were living miles apart all these years and didn't know it.

I worked with Craig as his administrative assistant for about 5 years at PCC/Sylvania Campus. As Dean of Student Development, he saw many students who were either having problems or creating problems. I always admired how well Craig was able to defuse some pretty tricky situations.

Craig had a great sense of humor, a ready smile, and a face that always lit up when his wife Mary Ann called. I send my prayers and condolences to all of Craig’s family and friends. Rest In Peace,...

Craig was a wonderful high school classmate. He and Dennis were one of a few sets of twins we had in our great class of '67 at Pasco High. Craig was just a really nice friendly guy with integrity. I lost track of Craig and Dennis after graduation. It looks as his life was filled with accomplishments that would have filled him with pride and happiness. Fantastic job, Craig, well deserved. I send my sincere Aloha to his beautiful family and friends. Your husband, father, son, brother ( Hi...
