Oh, my uncle Bell Bell – fond memories galore. He touched so many people and I don’t know that he even realized it. In the Fitzpatrick family he was uncle Bell Bell all the way to the great, great nieces and nephews. In our hearts always and we will miss him so much. Love you Bell Bell.

Guestbook
Uncle Bell Bell was such an integral part of our lives. He made me a Twins fan for life when he started taking us to Twins games right after the Twins came to Minnesota in the early 1960’s (and he let us get whatever we wanted to eat at the ballpark!!). He taught me to drive, and took me on a trip when I graduated from college. He came to many of our famiy gatherings and always had a story to tell. We will miss you Bell Bell. The Twins game on June 16th won’t be the same without you. Thanks for being such a wonderful uncle, great uncle, and great-great uncle. Donna and family
I have so many fond memories of my Uncle Bell Bell, it’s hard to narrow them down to just a few. What stands out most in my mind is how very generous he was to all of us kids. From taking us for ice cream, treating us Twins games, to givng us coins from his special collection. And all the fun times we had at Middle Spunk lake in Avon and going to Lickeys afterwards for treats.
Bell Bell was a great story teller and it always amazed Charlie & I and all the family how he could remember with such clarity, detail and accuracy.
Bell Bell was my godfather and we shared the same birthday. He always has and always will hold a special place in all our hearts. We will miss him so very much.
Love You Uncle Bell Bell
