[Rhodes22-list] Alex Bell Obituary

[Bob & Kathy]

Rummy:  Many thanks for posting this sad news.  Kathy and I had the pleasure 
of hosting Pam and Alex for a visit a few years ago when they were looking 
for a larger cruising sailing vessel.

Pam and he were delightful guest in our home for an afternoon visit.

Flags at half-staff.

NEW BERN,  NC
Robert “Alex”  Bell, 62, of Fairfield Harbour died suddenly Monday, November
20,  2006.


He was proud of  his Naval service as a radioman serving aboard the aircraft
carrier USS  Saratoga.  His career included many years at Sweda 
International
as service  manager.  He then went on to his own business building and
installing  computer networks.  Alex enjoyed 25 years as a model railroading
enthusiast.  His love of sailing brought him to New Bern. Using his 
brilliant
creativity and craftsmanship, Alex gained great joy building his award 
winning
Mariner Canvas business.


Due to his love  of children, military personnel, and animals, he was very
generous with many  related charitable organizations.


Alex is greatly  missed, and remembered, by his wife, Pamela Vana; the 
family
of Cheryl and Len  Redelsperger; cousins Kathy and Mike Mattingly, and their
family; Aunt Audrey  Rush Harris; and many dear friends.


A celebration of  his life will be 4:00 PM, Friday, December 1, 2006 at
Cotten Funeral Home Chapel  with military honors.  In lieu of flowers, you 
are
invited to share photos  and stories of fond memories with Alex.  The family 
will
receive friends  following the service.


The family is  being assisted by Cotten Funeral Home & Crematory, 2201 Neuse
Boulevard, New  Bern, NC.
