John Hartley Dinger "Jack" Bell Sr.

So sad to read of his passing. I grew up 2 doors down from him in Thunder Bay. He inspired me to learn guitar.

I grew up in my teenage years on Keystone Court (a couple of houses over from the Bells). He was one of my early inspirations to learn guitar. The Bells were truly lovely people and I was blessed to have had their influence in my life; not to mention Brian and Rob.

Jack and Ellen welcomed us to the neighborhood when we moved to Westbank in 2008 and became our much-loved friends. After Ellen's passing in 2012, we got to know Jack more and more. We so enjoyed his sharp wit and delightful conversation and have missed him since he moved back to Thunder Bay to be near his children. Our heartfelt condolences go out to his family at this sad time. Rest in peace, dear Jack...you're home at last.
