Brian M. Bell

Brian M. Bell, 59, sadly passed away on July 14, 2022 from complications of cardiac arrest. He was born in 1962 to John "Jack" and Helen (Shinoski) Bell. The family of eight moved from Philadelphia to Wyncote, Pa when he was seven. His childhood was filled with the loving craziness of a large family and summers in the Poconos. Upon graduating Cheltenham High School, B (as he was known) worked with his dad and siblings at the family owned business, Bell Neon Sign Company, where he became an electrician. He enjoyed a career as an electrician and shared his skills with his family or friends during DIY projects. Brian was best known for his love of sharing life’s simple pleasures with his friends and family: being outside, swimming in the water hole, fishing with his most-loved dog Bella, iced tea, campfires and especially riding his quad. He was the “Trail Leader” and was always ready for an adventure.

Brian was a devoted father to Dana, Jackalyn, Brett and Bella (his dog); a father figure to Jessica, Christopher and Taylor; and a proud Dziadek to Jake. Brian is predeceased by his brother Joseph and survived by his siblings: Virginia, Deborah, John, Nancy and Daniel.  Brian will always be remembered for his belly laughs, generosity and love of family. “Cause in the end, it’s family that counts.” Thank you Brian for sharing your life!
