Grest teacher. Very nice man.

Rick- unaware that your dad and your mom previously- please accept Shirley and my condolences at your family's loss ...

Please accept my condolences. My Bell was one of the good ones. He made learning fun. His AP English classroom was a place of challenge, laughter, and discovery. He will be missed.

Eric was a helpful colleague and mentor who became a close friend as the years went by. I enjoyed working with him at Lee High School and for him at his home in Lenox. He was liked and respected by his students, friends and and those who knew him. He will be missed. Rest in peace.

Danna and Eric May all the the special memories of your Dad live on in your hearts forever. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Please accept my condolences.

Mr. Bell was one of the most charismatic people I have ever known. He was always smiling and made school fun. He was brilliant. I never met a person who knew the definition of every single word in the English language until I met him. He had a huge impact on me, and I will always remember him.

One of my favorite teachers in high school, engaging, energetic, passionate and he fulfilled his goals of teaching. He had a great impact on my life and I am thankful that our path crossed.
