James F. Bell

James (Jim) Francis Bell J.D. CPA

Beloved son, brother, grandson, cousin, uncle, husband, father, friend, and most happily grandpa; or as he loved to be called “Papa”. Jim was a lawyer, a CPA, a college teacher, a Mr. Fix it, a diehard chocolate and ice cream lover, and a man who was always quick with a joke and a life lesson.  He is survived by his wife Kathleen of 51+ years who was by his side until the end, his daughter Dr. Sandra M Snyder, son-in-law Kile Snyder, son James M Bell, CPA, daughter-in-law Caroline Jacques, PhD, and his four grandchildren who were his world…Connor, Carter, Elena, and Summer.  

He loved children!  In conjunction with this, and in lieu of flowers, it was his wish that you please donate to another special child in his life.
