Steven Joseph Bell

I'm really going to miss you and all the stories that you told me about POC, my family, and your family. I can't help but think that you are the lucky one right now to be at peace and you get to see all the loved ones now. Love you and miss you.

God bless you Steve. Always enjoyed going to POC and seeing you. You'll be missed...

Steve was great friends with my late husband Ronald Forbis and was his best man at our wedding in 1976. I´m so sorry find out of his passing. May he rest in peace.

We had so many dreams and most of them included boats. We always had fun talking about places we wanted to go and sea. You did great, every time I sea a Shoalwater boat, and there are many, I will remember you. You made the Bell/ Hawes name prouder. May you always have fair winds and following seas.

Rocky Raby, James Harper and myself had some of our greatest life adventures with Steven from testing the race boat he built and sailing his "tub" , unsinkable sailboat up and down the canal to floundering together and using the famous Steven Bell knot on our common stringer one night, to our wildest one the night James and Shirley got married and Steve, Rocky and I took a walking tour around town after the reception that led to multiple county deputies searching for some reported `hippies´ disturbing the peace. We weren´t caught but it was a long night. I will miss you Steve and keep those memories close.

Rip Steve
I will always remember your bright eyes and mischievous smile. I am not sure if I ever did see you without a smile or a slight grin. Especially when you and Tim Whitaker were together. I still remember sailing with you guys and y'all thought it would be hilarious for Tim to jump on your boat and leave me alone on his so I "would have to learn how to sail," I was not very impressed with you two at the time. One of my favorite memories now,Haha. You will be greatly missed. I am sure you and Tim are sailing the skies together now.

The picture of Steve wearing the red bandana is priceless. He had a wonderful laugh ,sense of humor, and such a creative mind! What great adventures he and Susie have shared.....he will be missed.

Susie I am so very sorry for your loss I am praying for you and all your family.

Our hearts our aching for your loss-sending prayers to you Susie & his family!

My deepest condolences Susie! Sending prayers for the family but especially you!

I´m glad I was able to see Steve a little while ago. We always seem to pick up right where we left off after a gap of not seeing each other. I remember when we got his dads Vespa scooter running. We spent many hours cruising around POC. I´m go to miss him like I miss Tim Whittaker and too many other old friends.

Susie, so very sorry for your loss. Treasure the good times and sweet memories you two shared.

My favorite memory of Steve was swimming at the Peninsula and I had Chase in my arms. He was about 2. The waves got bigger and bigger as we walked out into the waves. I looked at him, in a panic, and he gave me a look that said he had my back, if Chase got away from me. Good guy....

Steve was one of the greatest friends a person could ask for. He will be so missed by so many. Love ya brother! It was a great 41 years.

God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Vonnie and Karen Lewis. Sending prayers to the family. Gone too soon!!

We are so sorry for your loss, we are thinking about you. Hugs. Juan and Laurie Luna
