This is my great grandpa. I miss him very much. I remember when I was in kindergarten, on the 100th day of school, he came in because he was 100. He was very interesting to all the small children.

Emily Austin lit a candle in memory of Clyde Bell

I remember when I was younger, I went out to uncle Hoyt's all the time with grandma Gladys and mom, I'd beg and beg and beg to go to y'alls tree house and grandma would always tell me, "you've gotta go ask your uncle Bell and aunt Elsie first" uncle Bell would take me out there and tell me all about it.. Love and miss you Uncle Bell... He was a very sweet and generous person. 💜
Uncle Bell was such an honorable man! He loved his country, his wife and all his family. He was such an awesome story teller. He loved going to his tree house and pond. He was always working in his gardens and stayed so active, Uncle Bell will be missed by so many. To Aunt Elsie and the rest of the family you all are in my heart and prayers!!!
Love, Mandie and Family.

My thoughts and prayers goes out to Ms. Elsie and the Bell family with love during this difficult time.
Most sincerely,
Alfredo Breton

Elsie and Family:
My sincere condolences to you in the lost of Clyde. I had just spoken with Jan and Betty Jo recently and they told me about the 100th birthday party. Clyde was one of my favorite people, and I enjoyed our talks and interviews. He lived a remarkable life and leaves a wonderful legacy.
Sincerely,
Duay O'Neil
